A 1466 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides for licensure of landscape professionals and registration of professional landscaping businesses.

This bill establishes a licensing system for landscape professionals in New Jersey, requiring individuals to obtain licenses to perform landscape installation or management work. It creates a Landscape Professional License Review Committee to oversee the licensing process, set educational requirements (including degree options or work experience), and establish continuing education standards for biennial license renewal. The bill also requires professional landscaping businesses to register biennially, maintain proper insurance, and provide written contracts over $500 with clear cancellation terms for consumers. The legislation exempts certain activities like work on personal properties, agricultural land, and work performed by licensed architects or other professionals within their scope of practice.
