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 entities must accept electronic payments, specifically through card payment systems or electronic funds transfer (EFT) systems, for fees associated with construction permits and inspections regulated by the State Uniform Construction Code Act. Previously, local units had the option to establish these electronic payment systems, but this bill requires them to do so for construction code fees and to do so by passing a formal resolution from their governing body, ensuring contractors have modern payment options for these essential services.
