S 2123 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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.

S 2123 requires New Jersey's Division of Consumer Affairs to collect specific data on processing new professional and occupational license applications, including processing times, incomplete applications, and call volume, and submit a report to the Governor and Legislature within six months. The bill mandates the Attorney General to develop profession-specific training for new employees handling license applications and review outsourcing phone call support to assist applicants. It directly affects the state agency managing license processing, applicants seeking licenses (e.g., for healthcare, construction, or other regulated professions), and new employees in the division. The report must cover funding for staff, technology, and efforts to improve processing efficiency, with the requirement expiring after the report is submitted.
