SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE

STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No.
4582

STATE
OF NEW JERSEY

DATED: JUNE 12,
2025

The Senate Commerce Committee reports favorably Senate
Bill No. 4582.

This
bill provides for the permit of a pool and spa service business as a general
contractor for pool and spa building and installation and pool and spa service
contracting. The bill defines “pool and spa service business” as a
partnership, corporation, or any other business entity engaged in the
management and coordination of all phases of pool and spa building and
installation and pool and spa contracting and holds a valid business license.

The
bill requires that a pool and spa service business shall secure a business
permit from the Pool and Spa Service Contractors and Pool and Spa Builders and
Installers Advisory Committee prior to engaging in the performance of any
work. The board will issue a permit to a business: (1) where at least one
employee holds a valid pool and spa builder and installer license or pool and
spa contractor license issued by the board; (2) that pays required application
and renewal fees; and (3) that meets any additional requirements established by
the board. Business permits must be renewed every three years.

Under
the bill, a pool and spa service business holding a valid permit is authorized
to serve as a general contractor for all aspects of pool and spa building and
installation and pool and spa contracting, provided that all specialized work
is performed by appropriately licensed professionals where required by law.

Finally,
the bill establishes that subcontractors working under a pool and spa service
business are not required to obtain a separate license but are required to
perform work under the supervision of a permitted pool and spa service
business.
