     SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

                    STATEMENT TO

                  SENATE, No. 3145
                   with committee amendments



 STATE OF NEW JERSEY
                    DATED: JANUARY 21, 2021

   The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably and with
committee amendments Senate Bill No. 3145.
   As amended, this bill clarifies current State policy requiring an
individual to list a legal name on an application when initially
applying for or renewing, reactivating, or reinstating a professional
or occupational license, certificate of registration, or certificate.
   The bill requires applications for a professional and occupational
license, certificate of registration, or certificate to include a line
allowing an individual to list a professional name, a line for the
individual to list a legal name, if different from the professional
name, and the ability for the individual to choose which name is to
appear on the license, certificate of registration, or certificate.
    This bill allows individuals who practice a specific profession or
occupation by one name to retain that name should the individual’s
legal name change. Allowing an individual who has built a business
under one name to continue using it even if the surname of the
individual legally changes will prevent confusion among consumers
who are clients of that individual. It will also allow the individual to
forgo any additional costs required to obtain an updated license,
certificate of registration, or certification, and to update any
business website, advertising, or marketing.
    The bill’s provisions would apply to individuals in professions
or occupations regulated by the Division of Consumer Affairs in the
Department of Law and Public Safety or a profession or occupation
regulated by another State entity.

COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:
    The committee amended the bill to add language so that the
provisions of the bill apply to individuals licensed, registered, or
certified by the Division of Consumer Affairs or another State entity
that licenses or otherwise regulates a profession or occupation.
