A 4272 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts licensed master plumbers from certain electrical contractor business permit requirements.

This bill would exempt licensed master plumbers in New Jersey from needing an electrical contractor business permit when performing electrical work directly related to plumbing systems, such as installing or repairing electrical components of water heaters, well pumps, or other plumbing-related equipment. Currently, such work would require a separate electrical contractor permit, but this exemption would allow master plumbers - already licensed in their field - to handle these integrated tasks without additional permitting. The bill amends New Jersey's electrical contractor law (P.L.1962, c.162) to add a specific exemption for master plumbers performing plumbing-related electrical work. This change streamlines regulations for plumbers who routinely handle both plumbing and electrical components in their work.
