A 702 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts alarm installers and locksmiths from apprenticeship requirement under "The Public Works Contractor Registration Act."

This bill exempts alarm installers and locksmiths from needing to participate in registered apprenticeship programs when applying for public works contracts in New Jersey. It specifically applies to contractors providing fire protection, alarm installation, or locksmith services under the Public Works Contractor Registration Act. The exemption covers only these core services - contractors must still follow apprenticeship requirements for unrelated work. The change addresses that these professions lack approved apprenticeship programs under federal law, while their licensing is already handled by other state regulations.
