Revises statutory definition of certain waterfront workers.
This bill (S 1287) sought to revise legal definitions related to waterfront workers in New Jersey, specifically clarifying terms like "longshoreman," "carrier," and "marine terminal" under existing law (P.L.2017, c.324). It would have directly affected how waterfront workers, carriers, and terminals are legally categorized for regulatory purposes. However, the bill was withdrawn on January 13, 2026, because the same definitions were already enacted in P.L.2025, c.333, making this bill redundant. No new policy changes were implemented, as the definitions were already in effect.
