Requires local unit to accept electronic payment of construction code fees.

This bill (A3953) requires contractors to be allowed to pay construction code fees electronically through card or electronic funds transfer systems when entering contracts under New Jersey's Local Public Contracts Law. It directly affects contractors who pay these fees and local government units that collect them. Key provisions mandate that local units establish such payment systems via a governing body resolution, specifying eligible fees (excluding delinquent payments or lien redemptions). The bill updates existing laws to modernize fee collection for construction code enforcement.
