NJ A4124

Requires contractors on public works projects to certify that each journeyperson meets minimum qualifications: either graduation from an apprenticeship program equivalent to building and construction trade union standards for their craft, or four years of documented work as a tradesperson verifiable through tax filings

Mandates contractors certify their registered apprenticeship programs comply with federal requirements under 29 C.F.R. sections 29.3-29.7, with non-compliance resulting in denial, revocation, or suspension of public works registration

Non-compliant apprenticeship programs trigger registration denial or suspension not only for the participating contractor but for all contractors relying on that program to meet apprenticeship requirements

Contractors must register electronically with the Department of Labor, providing business information, tax identification, unemployment insurance numbers, and proof of valid licenses and registrations

Takes effect 90 days after enactment
