Revises out-of-State reciprocity for elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanic's licenses.

This bill (A4297) revises New Jersey's licensing rules for elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanics. It removes the requirement that other states must provide "equal reciprocity" (i.e., reciprocate for New Jersey licensees) before New Jersey can grant licenses without exams to out-of-state mechanics. The key change allows the licensing board to issue licenses without exams if the applicant's home state has comparable licensing standards, regardless of whether that state reciprocates for New Jersey licensees. This directly affects mechanics licensed in other states seeking to work in New Jersey without retaking exams.
