Bill > A6202

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to revise the definitions of certain waterfront workers and related terms. Specifically, it clarifies the definitions of "Director," "Officer," "Owner," and "Partner" in the context of stevedore licensure, adding that these terms refer to individuals involved in the management or ownership of a stevedoring enterprise. It also updates the definition of "hiring agent" to include those authorized to select longshoremen for employment by stevedores or other employers, not just carriers of freight by water. Additionally, the bill refines the definition of "stevedore" to explicitly include "corporate stevedore" and clarifies the role of a "telecommunications system controller" as someone selected by a joint board of the New York Shipping Association, Inc. and the International Longshoremen's Association who operates the Labor Hiring System (LHS). These changes aim to provide clearer definitions for individuals and entities involved in waterfront operations and labor management within the port of New York district.
