Prohibits counties from charging recording fees to volunteer first responders.
This New Jersey bill prohibits county clerks and registers of deeds from charging recording fees to volunteer first responders. It directly affects volunteer firefighters, emergency squad members, and other individuals who provide medical care or assistance at accident scenes. To qualify for this fee waiver, a volunteer must certify that they have engaged in response services within the previous 12 months using a form approved by the state's Division of Local Government Services. The law overrides existing state statutes that previously allowed these fees to be charged, ensuring that volunteers do not face financial barriers when recording documents.
