This bill amends the current regulations regarding out-of-State reciprocity for elevator, escalator, and moving walkway mechanic's licenses in New Jersey. Specifically, it allows the Elevator, Escalator, and Moving Walkway Mechanics Licensing Board to grant licenses without examination to applicants who hold licenses from other states, provided that the standards of the domiciliary state are equal to or comparable to those of New Jersey.

The key change in the bill is the removal of the requirement for "equal reciprocity" for New Jersey licensed mechanics by the law of the applicant's domiciliary state. This means that even if a domiciliary state does not offer reciprocity to New Jersey licensees, the board can still issue licenses to applicants from that state, as long as their standards meet the necessary criteria. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
