Summary of New Jersey Bill A 6105

Note on title vs. content: The bill’s title asserts it would require all state agencies to provide paper copies of forms. However, the introduced version content attached to A 6105 concerns licensure for home improvement and home elevation contractors. The summary below focuses on the introduced content (licensure), and flags the title-content discrepancy.

Basic bill information

  • Bill number: A 6105
  • Title (as listed): Requires all state agencies to provide paper copies of the forms they utilize to individuals and commercial entities required to file such forms
  • Status: Referred to Governmental Operations (initial reference)
  • Introduced: November 24, 2025
  • Classification: Bill

Introduced version content (primary substance)

  • Topic: Regulation and licensure of home improvement and home elevation contractors
  • Core change: Amends Section 9 of P.L.2023, c.237 (C.45:5AAA-9) to clarify licensure requirements.
  • Key provision:
    • No individual may perform home improvement services or home elevation services unless:
    • They are licensed by the New Jersey State Board of Home Improvement and Home Elevations Contractors, or
    • They are working under the direction or supervision of an individual licensed by the board.
  • Exemptions: Individuals exempted pursuant to section 11 of P.L.2023, c.237 (C.45:5AAA-12) remain unaffected by this licensure requirement.
  • Effective date: The act takes effect immediately but remains inoperative until time specified in section 5 of P.L.2023, c.237 (C.45:5AAA-5).

What the bill would do (substantive impact)

  • Strengthen consumer protection and oversight by ensuring that contractors performing home improvement or home elevation work are licensed or supervised by a licensed professional.
  • Clarify who may legally perform these services within New Jersey.
  • Potentially reduce unregulated practice by unlicensed individuals in the home improvement/home elevation sectors.

Who is affected

  • Individual contractors performing home improvement or home elevation work in New Jersey
  • Individuals seeking to perform such work (must obtain licensure or work under licensed supervision)
  • Home improvement and home elevation contractors seeking licensure and compliance with the board
  • Consumers seeking services in this space, who would have greater assurance of licensure and oversight

Procedural and timeline aspects

  • Introduced in the Assembly on November 24, 2025
  • Initial status: Referred to Assembly Regulated Professions Committee
  • Earlier legislative actions show a prior referral to Governmental Operations on February 26, 2025 (listed under legislative actions)
  • Effective date is contingent on Section 5 of P.L.2023, c.237 (C.45:5AAA-5)

Sponsors and related measures

  • Primary sponsor: John Lemondes
  • Cosponsors: Josh Jensen, Philip Palmesano
  • Related/Sister bills: S 4841 (companion); A 6317, A 6959, A 5501, A 4302, A 5000, A 4428, A 3889, A 10954 (prior-session and related references)

Considerations and context

  • The bill situates licensure within the existing framework of P.L.2023, c.237, meaning it builds on the state’s current licensing regime for home improvement and home elevation contractors.
  • If enacted, enforcement would fall to the New Jersey State Board of Home Improvement and Home Elevations Contractors.
  • As with any licensure bill, considerations include potential impacts on the labor market (licensing costs, timelines to obtain licensure) and on homeowners seeking services.

Important note: The stated title about providing paper copies of forms appears inconsistent with the introduced licensure content. If you need, I can help verify the bill’s final language or provide a side-by-side comparison once the official engrossed/amended text is available.
