Encourages municipalities to accept electronically submitted documents from licensed architects and landscape architects.

This Assembly Resolution (AR 96) encourages New Jersey municipalities to adopt the practice of accepting electronically submitted, digitally signed documents from licensed architects and landscape architects. It directly affects municipalities and the architects/landscape architects who submit documents, building on existing rules from the State Board of Architects that became effective May 1, 2017. The resolution promotes electronic submissions because they allow municipalities to receive documents instantly, reduce paper usage and storage needs, and align with growing government preferences for digital workflows. It does not mandate electronic submissions but urges municipalities to support this method whenever possible.
