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 this legislation is the removal of the requirement for "equal reciprocity" for New Jersey licensed mechanics in the applicant's domiciliary state. This means that even if the state where the applicant is licensed does not offer reciprocal licensing to New Jersey mechanics, the board can still grant a license if the standards are deemed comparable. This change aims to streamline the licensing process for out-of-state mechanics and facilitate their entry into the New Jersey workforce.
