Provides for licensure of landscape professionals and registration of professional landscaping businesses.

This bill (S 3150) would establish a state licensing requirement for landscape professionals and a registration process for professional landscaping businesses in New Jersey.

Key provisions include creating a Landscape Professional License Review Committee to oversee licensing, setting standards for qualifications, and exempting certain existing licensed professionals (like architects or engineers) who work within their scope. The bill aims to ensure public safety, environmental protection, and industry standards by preventing unqualified individuals from performing landscape work. The legislation is pending in the Senate Commerce Committee as of its introduction date.
