Bill Summary

This bill requires construction contracts entered into under the "Local Public Contracts Law" to allow the contractor to pay enforcing agency fees imposed under the "State Uniform Construction Code" by way of a card payment system or electronic funds transfer system. Under the bill, a local unit is required to establish a card payment system and electronic funds transfer system for payments required to be made under the "State Uniform Construction Code Act," P.L.1975, c.217 (C.52:27D-119 et seq.). A local unit is required to establish a card payment system or electronic funds transfer system by passage of a resolution of the governing body.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that local government units, when entering into construction contracts under the "Local Public Contracts Law," must allow contractors to pay fees related to construction codes, as established by the "State Uniform Construction Code Act," using either a card payment system or an electronic funds transfer system. The bill amends existing law to require, rather than permit, local units to establish these electronic payment systems for construction code fees, and this establishment must be formalized through a resolution passed by the governing body.
