Bill Summary

Requires calculation of national average time needed to approve applications for initial credential in profession or occupation and use of average time as standard in New Jersey.

AI Summary

This bill requires professional boards in New Jersey to collect data on the average time needed to approve applications for initial credentials in their respective professions or occupations across the United States. Based on this data, the boards must calculate a national average approval time for each profession or occupation they regulate and use this as the standard for approving applications in New Jersey. If a board fails to meet the calculated average time, its licensing fees will be used to hire a third-party expert to help the board implement best practices to meet the standard. The bill also allows boards to retain all funds collected for initial credentials and renewals until they meet or exceed the calculated national average approval time.
