Requires construction permit for certain work involving asbestos on single-family home, duplex, or townhouse.

This bill requires a construction permit before any asbestos work (like removal or repair) begins on single-family homes, duplexes, or townhouses in New Jersey. It applies to all asbestos-containing material work on these residential properties, except projects involving less than 1,000 square feet of asbestos. The permit must be obtained from the local construction code enforcing agency in addition to other required permits. This update adds a new step to existing asbestos regulations, ensuring oversight for residential asbestos handling.
