Bill > S3158

This bill modifies the requirements for obtaining and renewing licenses for elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanics in New Jersey, particularly concerning out-of-state reciprocity and grandfathering in existing mechanics. It changes the process for granting licenses to mechanics licensed in other states, allowing the licensing board to issue licenses without an exam if the applicant's home state has comparable standards or a U.S. Department of Labor-registered apprenticeship program, removing the previous requirement for "equal reciprocity" from the other state. The bill also expands the acceptable proof of experience for mechanics applying for a license without an exam, including specific national training programs and registered apprenticeship programs, and clarifies that individuals who obtained a license under these new provisions must still meet continuing education requirements for renewal.
