Clarifies licensure requirements of home improvement and home elevation contractors.
This bill clarifies that home improvement and home elevation contractors in New Jersey must be licensed by the state board or work under a licensed supervisor. It directly affects contractors performing services like home repairs, renovations, or elevation work, requiring them to comply with these licensing rules. The key provision states that unlicensed individuals cannot perform these services unless supervised by a licensed contractor. The bill aims to ensure contractors meet state licensing standards, though it was withdrawn as redundant after similar requirements were enacted in 2025.
