A 4848 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for satisfaction of licensure requirements for certain elevator inspectors through certification as qualified elevator inspector.

This bill updates New Jersey's laws to allow certain elevator inspectors to meet licensure requirements by obtaining certification as a qualified elevator inspector. It directly affects elevator inspection firms and the inspectors who work for them by formalizing the qualifications needed to perform routine and periodic safety inspections. The legislation requires these certified inspectors to be employed by registered firms and mandates that they follow specific rules for testing, reporting dangerous conditions, and maintaining safety standards. Additionally, the bill gives the Department of Community Affairs the authority to create detailed regulations regarding inspector qualifications and firm registration.
