This bill establishes temporary quorum standards for professional licensing entities in New Jersey, allowing a majority of members present at a meeting to constitute a quorum for processing certain licensure applications. Specifically, this applies when there are two members in attendance, provided one is the chair, and is limited to applications that do not require legal review due to adverse information from criminal history background checks. This new quorum standard is only applicable if the entity has been unable to achieve a quorum under existing statutory requirements for a period of 90 days.

Additionally, the bill mandates that if, after one year, a board, committee, or entity lacks the necessary members to maintain a quorum as per its governing statute, it must submit a written report to the Legislature. This report should include recommendations for merging with another board, committee, or entity and must be submitted within 30 days following the expiration of the bill's provisions. The act is designed to streamline the processing of licensure applications while addressing potential issues with quorum requirements.
