Establishes registration and training program for commercial applicators of substances for snow and ice removal.
This New Jersey bill (S 2061) creates a voluntary training and registration program for commercial businesses that apply snow/ice removal substances (like salt or chemicals) for hire on private property. It requires these "commercial applicators" to complete certified training on effective, water-quality-protective methods, pass an exam, and register with the Environmental Protection Department. Registered applicators gain limited liability protection for snow/ice removal work if they follow the training methods, while non-registered or non-compliant applicators face liability. The program also mandates record-keeping of application methods and amounts, annual reporting to the department, and public posting of registered providers and applicators.
