Revises statutory definition of certain waterfront workers.
This bill revises New Jersey's legal definition of "longshoreman" to clarify which waterfront workers are covered under the law. It specifies that a longshoreman is any person (excluding hiring agents) who performs tasks like moving cargo at piers, checking freight, recording work hours, or supervising others in these activities. The update ensures the definition aligns with current port operations, affecting workers and employers at New Jersey's waterfront terminals. This change provides clearer guidance for enforcement and compliance without altering existing worker protections or rights.
