Requires issuance of report on certain information and data on processing of applications for professional and occupational licenses and mandates review of training and call intake in Division of Consumer Affairs.

This bill (A 3577) requires New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to collect specific data on professional and occupational license applications and submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within six months. The report must include details like the number of pending applications, average processing times, common errors in incomplete applications, call volume categories from applicants, and funding for staff and technology. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Attorney General develop profession-specific training for new employees processing license applications and review outsourcing phone call handling. The law directly affects license applicants by requiring the state to track and report on application processing efficiency and support for the licensing division.
