Electric vehicle charging stations in common interest communities.
Status: in_force

1. a. (1) An association formed for the management of common elements and facilities of a planned real estate development, regardless of whether organized pursuant to section 1 of P.L.1993, c.30 (C.45:22A-43), shall not adopt or enforce a restriction, covenant, bylaw, rule, regulation, master deed provision, or provision of a governing document prohibiting or unreasonably restricting the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station in a designated parking space. (2) Any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any deed, contract, security instrument, or other instrument affecting the transfer or sale of any interest in a planned real estate development, and any provision of a master deed, bylaw, or other governing document that either prohibits or unreasonably restricts the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station in a designated parking space, or is in conflict with the provisions of this section, is void and unenforceable. (3) Notwithstanding any provisions of an association's governing documents concerning the grant of exclusive or limited use of any portion of a common element to a unit owner, the executive board of an association shall grant exclusive or limited use of any portion of a common element to a unit owner: (a) to install and use an electric vehicle charging station in a unit owner's designated parking space that meets the requirements of this section, where the installation or use of the charging station requires reasonable access through, or across, the common elements for utility lines or meters; or (b) to install and use an electric vehicle charging station through a license granted by an association pursuant to subsection e. of this section. (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an association from imposing reasonable restrictions on electric vehicle charging stations. b. An electric vehicle charging station shall meet applicable health and safety standards and requirements imposed by State and local authorities as well as all other applicable zoning, land use or other ordinances, or land use permits. c. If association approval is required for the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station, the application for approval shall be processed and approved by the association in the same manner as an application for approval of an architectural modification to the property, and shall not be willfully avoided or delayed. The approval or denial of an application shall be in writing. If an application is not denied in writing within 60 days from the date of receipt of the application, the application shall be deemed approved, unless that delay is the result of a reasonable request for additional information. If an association reasonably determines that the cumulative use of electricity on the premises attributable to the installation and use of electric vehicle charging stations requires the installation of additional infrastructure improvements to provide the premises with a sufficient supply of electricity, then the association may hold an application for approval in abeyance until the upgrades are completed. d. The following provisions shall apply to installations of electric vehicle charging stations for the exclusive use of a unit owner: (1) if required by the governing documents or the association's rules and regulations, the unit owner shall first obtain approval from the association to install the electric vehicle charging station and the association shall approve the installation if the provisions of this section are met and the unit owner agrees in writing to: (a) comply with the association's architectural standards for the installation of the electric vehicle charging station; (b) engage a licensed electrician to install all necessary electric lines and electrical infrastructure in compliance with the association's architectural standards; (c) within 14 days of approval and prior to installation, obtain and maintain at all times, while the electric vehicle charging station is in place, insurance protecting the association and the other unit owners from damage as a result of the existence and operation of the electric vehicle charging station, and provide evidence of insurance specifying that insurance covers the electric vehicle charging station in the amount required under this section. Nothing in this subparagraph shall be construed as impairing the right of an association to require a unit owner to maintain homeowner's insurance under the association's governing documents or rules and regulations; (d) pay for the electricity usage associated with the electric vehicle charging station; (e) pay for reasonable charges imposed by an association to recover the costs of the review and approval of an application for the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station, including, without limitation, reasonable engineering and legal fees. An association may require that anticipated review charges be placed in escrow in advance of commencing review of an application for the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station; (2) an association may deny an application for the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station if the association reasonably concludes that the electric vehicle charging station constitutes a life-safety risk; (3) if an association reasonably determines that the cumulative use of electricity on the premises attributable to the installation and use of electric vehicle charging stations requires the installation of additional infrastructure improvements to provide the premises with a sufficient supply of electricity, then the association may specially assess the cost of those additional infrastructure improvements to the unit owners who have installed electric vehicle charging stations, and have applied to install electric vehicle charging stations, in equal shares per electric vehicle charging station. An association may require a unit owner to pay a special assessment before the unit owner may install an electric vehicle charging station; (4) any monies that a unit owner owes an association under this section shall be deemed special assessments, and the association may collect those monies from the unit owner in the same manner as the association's governing documents and applicable law provides for the collection of delinquent common expenses, rent, or other delinquent amounts, and unless any of the following responsibilities are specifically abrogated as they relate to electric vehicle charging stations, in whole or in part, under the governing documents of the association, the unit owner and each successive unit owner of the electric vehicle charging station shall be responsible for the cost of the following items as if the items were an assessment applicable to the unit owner: (a) any damage to the electric vehicle charging station, the parking space, a common element, a limited common element, the property of other unit owners, or separate interests, which damage results from the installation, maintenance, repair, removal, or replacement of the charging station; (b) any maintenance, repair, and replacement of an electric vehicle charging station, and restoration of the area after removal of the electric vehicle charging station; (c) the electricity usage associated with the electric vehicle charging station; (d) all installation costs associated with electric vehicle charging stations; and (e) any costs associated with an application for the installation or use of an electric vehicle charging station to satisfy applicable health and safety standards and requirements imposed by State and local authorities, including but not limited to applicable zoning, land use, and other ordinance requirements; (5) the unit owner, and each successive unit owner, of an electric vehicle charging station shall be responsible for disclosing to prospective buyers the existence of the unit owner's electric vehicle charging station and the related responsibilities of the unit owner under this section; and (6) except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, a unit owner, and each successive unit owner, of an electric vehicle charging station shall, at all times, maintain a homeowner's liability coverage policy in the amount of $100,000 and shall name the association as a certificate holder with the right to receive a notice of cancellation. An association may require the unit owner of an electric vehicle charging station to carry a homeowner's liability coverage policy in excess of $100,000 if the association's governing documents or rules and regulations require all unit owners to carry a greater amount. If a unit owner fails to procure or maintain insurance required under this section, the association may procure insurance on the unit owner's behalf and charge the unit owner the cost of the insurance. The unit owner shall hold the association and the other unit owners harmless from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising out of or relating to any personal injuries, death, or damage to property that were caused by, or contributed to by, the installation, removal or use of the electric vehicle charging station. e. The executive board of an association may license, for a defined period of time, as set forth in the license, a common area parking space for the exclusive use of a unit owner for the installation of an electric vehicle charging station. The grant of any such license shall be at the sole discretion of the board, but such grant shall not be fraudulent, unconscionable, or self-dealing. f. An association may install electric vehicle charging stations in common element parking spaces for the use of all unit owners. An association may adopt appropriate rules and regulations for the use of common electric vehicle charging stations. g. An association may create a parking space where one did not previously exist to facilitate the installation of an electric vehicle charging station. If an association creates a parking space to accommodate an electric vehicle charging station for the exclusive use of a unit owner, the unit owner shall be responsible for all costs associated with creating the space including but not limited to land use approvals, permits, reviews, easements, and construction costs. If a new parking space to accommodate an electric vehicle charging station for the exclusive use of a unit owner is to be located in a common element or limited common element, the provisions of subsection d. of this section shall apply. h. The Commissioner of Community Affairs shall enforce the provisions of this section in accordance with the authority granted under section 18 of P.L.1977, c.419 (C.45:22A-38). i. As used in this section: "Designated parking space" means a parking space that is specifically designated for use by a particular unit owner, including, but not limited to, a garage, a deeded parking space, and a parking space in a limited common element that is restricted for use by one or more unit owners; "Electric vehicle charging station" means a station that is designed in compliance with the State Uniform Construction Code, adopted pursuant to P.L.1975, c.217 (C.52:27D-119 et seq.), that delivers electricity from a source outside an electric vehicle into one or more electric vehicles, and that is capable of providing, at a minimum, Level 2 charging. An electric vehicle charging station may include several charge points simultaneously connecting several electric vehicles to the station and any related equipment needed to facilitate charging plug-in electric vehicles; "Reasonable restriction" means a restriction that does not significantly increase the cost of an electric vehicle charging station or significantly decrease its efficiency or specified performance; and "Unit owner" means the record owner of a residential dwelling unit located within an association, or, in the case of a cooperative housing corporation, a shareholder of record owning the shares appurtenant to an individual dwelling unit. This act shall not apply to the owners of commercial units, space, or interest located within an association. L.2020, c.108.

Background checks for homemaker-home health aide certification applicant.
Status: in_force

7. a. The New Jersey Board of Nursing in the Division of Consumer Affairs in the Department of Law and Public Safety shall not issue a homemaker-home health aide certification to any applicant, except on a conditional basis as provided for in subsection d. of section 8 of P.L.1997, c.100 (C.45:11-24.4), unless the board first determines, consistent with the requirements of sections 7 through 13 of P.L.1997, c.100 (C.45:11-24.3 through 24.9), that no criminal history record information exists on file in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Identification Division, or in the State Bureau of Identification in the Division of State Police, which would disqualify that person from being certified. A homemaker-home health aide certified by the board prior to the effective date of P.L.2000, c.20 and upon whom a criminal history record background check has not been conducted pursuant to sections 7 through 13 of P.L.1997, c.100 (C.45:11-24.3 through 24.9), shall be required to undergo that criminal history record background check as a condition of that individual's initial recertification following the effective date of P.L.2000, c.20. In addition, a follow-up criminal history record background check of federal records shall be conducted at least once every two years as a condition of recertification for every certified homemaker-home health aide; except that the board, in lieu of conducting follow-up criminal history record background checks for purposes of recertification, may provide for an alternative means of determining whether a certified homemaker-home health aide has been convicted of a crime or disorderly persons offense which would disqualify that person from certification, including, but not limited to, a match of a person's Social Security number or other identifying information with records of criminal proceedings in this and other states. If the board elects to implement this alternative means of determining whether a certified homemaker-home health aide has been convicted of a crime or disorderly persons offense which would disqualify that person from certification, the board shall report to the Governor and the Legislature prior to its implementation on the projected costs and procedures to be followed with respect to its implementation and setting forth the rationale therefor. A person shall be disqualified from certification if that person's criminal history record background check reveals a record of conviction of any of the following crimes and offenses: (1) In New Jersey, any crime or disorderly persons offense: (a) involving danger to the person, meaning those crimes and disorderly persons offenses set forth in N.J.S.2C:11-1 et seq., N.J.S.2C:12-1 et seq., N.J.S.2C:13-1 et seq., N.J.S.2C:14-1 et seq. or N.J.S.2C:15-1 et seq.; or (b) against the family, children or incompetents, meaning those crimes and disorderly persons offenses set forth in N.J.S.2C:24-1 et seq.; or (c) involving theft as set forth in chapter 20 of Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes; or (d) involving any controlled dangerous substance or controlled substance analog as set forth in chapter 35 of Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes except paragraph (4) of subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:35-10. (2) In any other state or jurisdiction, of conduct which, if committed in New Jersey, would constitute any of the crimes or disorderly persons offenses described in paragraph (1) of this subsection. b. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection a. of this section, no person shall be disqualified from certification on the basis of any conviction disclosed by a criminal history record background check performed pursuant to sections 7 through 13 and section 14 of P.L.1997, c.100 (C.45:11-24.3 through 24.9 and C.53:1-20.9a) if the person has affirmatively demonstrated to the New Jersey Board of Nursing in the Division of Consumer Affairs clear and convincing evidence of the person's rehabilitation. In determining whether a person has affirmatively demonstrated rehabilitation, the following factors shall be considered: (1) the nature and responsibility of the position which the convicted person would hold, has held or currently holds, as the case may be; (2) the nature and seriousness of the offense; (3) the circumstances under which the offense occurred; (4) the date of the offense; (5) the age of the person when the offense was committed; (6) whether the offense was an isolated or repeated incident; (7) any social conditions which may have contributed to the offense; and (8) any evidence of rehabilitation, including good conduct in prison or in the community, counseling or psychiatric treatment received, acquisition of additional academic or vocational schooling, successful participation in correctional work-release programs, or the recommendation of those who have had the person under their supervision. c. If a person subject to the provisions of sections 7 through 13 of P.L.1997, c.100 (C.45:11-24.3 through 24.9) refuses to consent to, or cooperate in, the securing of a criminal history record background check, the New Jersey Board of Nursing shall, as applicable: (1) not issue a homemaker-home health aide certification and shall notify the applicant, and the applicant's employer if the applicant is conditionally employed as provided in subsection d. of section 8 of P.L.1997, c.100 (C.45:11-24.4) or the applicant's prospective employer if known, of that denial; or (2) revoke the person's current homemaker-home health aide certification and notify the person, and the person's employer, if known, of that revocation.

Upon the submission of an application approved by the commission, the commission may grant a 90-day preliminary registration to allow the developer to begin offering and selling timeshare interests in a timeshare plan regardless of whether the accommodations of the timeshare plan are located within or outside of the State. Upon submission of a substantially complete application for an abbreviated or comprehensive registration under this act, including all appropriate fees, to the commission prior to the expiration date of the preliminary registration, the preliminary registration will be automatically extended during the registration review period provided that the developer is actively and diligently pursuing registration under this act. The preliminary registration shall automatically terminate with respect to those timeshare interests covered by a final public offering statement that is issued before the scheduled termination date of the preliminary registration. The preliminary registration shall also terminate upon the issuance of any notice of rejection due to the developer's failure to comply with the provisions of this act.

The filing fee shall be in addition to the filing fees for an abbreviated or comprehensive registration as established by this act; (6) File all advertisements to be utilized by the developer under the preliminary registration with the commission before use. All advertisements and advertising literature shall contain the following, or substantially similar, disclaimer: "This advertising material is being used for the purpose of soliciting sales of timeshare interests."; (7) Such other information as the commission may require in order to further the provisions of this act, to assure full and fair disclosure and for the protection of purchaser interests. c. Prior to the issuance of an order of registration for an abbreviated or comprehensive registration, the commission may issue a conditional registration approval for a timeshare plan if the filing is deemed to be substantially complete by the commission and the commission determines that the deficiencies are likely to be corrected by the applicant in a reasonable time and manner. Once the commission issues a conditional registration approval, the applicant may begin entering into purchase contracts with the purchaser and provide the purchaser with the most current version of the public offering statement; however, no rescission period may begin to run until the final approved public offering statement is delivered to the purchaser. If there is no material difference between the documents provided to the purchaser pursuant to the conditional registration and the documents approved as part of the final order of approval, then those documents need not be delivered again to the purchaser. All purchase contracts that are executed under the authority of a conditional registration approval shall contain the following provisions: (1) No escrow will close, funds will not be released from escrow, and the interest contracted for will not be conveyed until a final approved public offering statement for the timeshare plan is furnished to the purchaser. (2) The contract may be rescinded, in which event the entire sum of money paid or advanced by the purchaser shall be returned if the purchaser or lessee is dissatisfied with the final public offering statement. (3) The term for a conditional registration approval shall be six months from the date of approval by the commission, and may be extended upon application to the commission for an additional six month period. d. A developer shall include in its application for registration with the commission, the following information: (1) The developer's legal name, any assumed names used by the developer, and the developer's principal office location, mailing address, primary contact person and telephone number; (2) The name, location, mailing address, primary contact person and telephone number of the timeshare plan; (3) The name and principal address of the developer's authorized New Jersey representative who shall be a licensed real estate broker licensed to maintain offices within this State; (4) A declaration as to whether the timeshare plan is a single-site timeshare plan or a multi-site timeshare plan and, if a multi-site timeshare plan, whether it consists of specific timeshare interests or non-specific timeshare interests; (5) The name and principal address of all brokers within New Jersey who sell or offer to sell any timeshare interests in any timeshare plan offered by the developer to any person in this State, who shall be licensed as a real estate broker pursuant to R.S.45:15-1 et seq., and who are the authorized representatives of the developer; (6) The name and principal address of all non affiliated marketing entities who, by means of inducement, promotion or advertisement, attempt to encourage or procure prospective purchasers located in the State to attend a sales presentation for any timeshare plan offered by the developer or authorized broker; (7) The name and principal address of all managing entities who manage the timeshare plan; (8) A public offering statement which complies with the requirements of this act; and (9) Any other information regarding the developer, timeshare plan, brokers, marketing entities or managing entities as required by the commission and established by the commission by regulation. e.

The escrow agreement shall include provisions that funds may be disbursed to the developer by the escrow agent from the escrow account only after expiration of the purchaser's cancellation period and in accordance with the purchase contract, subject to paragraph (2) of this subsection. (2) If a developer contracts to sell a timeshare interest and the construction of any property in which the timeshare interest is located has not been completed, the developer, upon expiration of the cancellation period set forth in section 18 of this act, shall continue to maintain in an escrow account all funds received by or on behalf of the developer from the purchaser under the purchase contract. The commission shall establish by rule the type of documentation which shall be required for evidence of completion, including but not limited to a certificate of occupancy, a certificate of substantial completion, or equivalent certificate from a public safety inspection agency in the applicable jurisdiction. Funds shall be released from escrow as follows: (a) If a purchaser properly cancels the purchase contract pursuant to its terms, the funds shall be paid to the purchaser or paid to the developer if the purchaser's funds have been previously refunded by the developer. (b) If a purchaser defaults in the performance of the purchaser's obligations under the purchase contract, the funds shall be paid to the developer. (c) If the funds of a purchaser have not been previously disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, they may be disbursed to the developer by the escrow agent upon the issuance of acceptable evidence of completion of construction as provided herein. (3) In lieu of the provisions in paragraphs (1) and (2) of this subsection, the commission may accept from the developer a surety bond, bond in lieu of escrow, irrevocable letter of credit or other financial assurance acceptable to the commission. Any acceptable financial assurance shall be in an amount equal to or in excess of the lesser of the funds which would otherwise be placed in escrow in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection, or in an amount equal to the cost to complete the incomplete property in which the timeshare interest is located. However, in no event shall the amount be less than the amount of funds that would otherwise be placed in escrow pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subsection.

Any proxies used by an association must contain a prominent notice that use of the proxy is voluntary on the part of the granting owner, that it can be revoked at any time before the proxy holder casts a vote, and that absentee ballots are available.

(1) An association shall not provide for a term of an executive board member to be for more than 4 years, provided that nothing shall prevent an executive board member from continuing to serve until his or her successor is duly qualified and elected. (2) An association shall not prohibit a voting-eligible tenant, where applicable, from casting a vote allocated to a unit if the bylaws otherwise permit tenant participation in an election of executive board members nor prohibit an individual acting pursuant to a valid power of attorney or proxy from casting a vote. (3) An association shall provide written notice to all association members no later than 30 days prior to the date for the mailing of the notice of the meeting set forth in paragraph (5) of this subsection that informs association members of the right to nominate themselves or other association members in good standing for candidacy to serve on the executive board. (4) An association, subject to the exceptions under subsection f. of this section, shall not prohibit an association member in good standing from nominating himself or herself, or any other association member in good standing as a candidate for any membership position on the executive board, so long as the nomination is made prior to the mailing of ballots or proxies to the association members, which mailing shall occur no earlier than: (a) the day following the expiration of the time period within which candidates must be nominated, or (b) where no expiration date is set forth for nomination of candidates, then the business day prior to the mailing of the notice of the election, required pursuant to paragraph (5) of this subsection. The period for submitting nominations shall not be less than 14 days from the mailing of the request for nominations. (5) An association shall provide association members written notice of an election by personal delivery, mail, or electronic means, no less than 14 nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting at which an election of executive board members is scheduled. This notice shall include a proxy ballot and an absentee ballot, unless prohibited by the bylaws, which ballots shall list in alphabetical order by last name the names of all candidates nominated pursuant to paragraph (4) of this subsection. In the case of mailing, the notice shall be effective when deposited in the mailbox with proper postage. The notice may only be sent by electronic means if either (a) the affected association member, or voting-eligible tenant where applicable, has agreed in writing to accept notice by electronic means; or (b) the governing documents permit electronic notices, provided another form of voting by absentee balloting or proxy voting is available. (6) An association shall use ballots, whether paper ballots or electronic ballots, that contain the names of all persons nominated as a candidate for the executive board. (7) An association shall not prohibit any association member in good standing, or voting-eligible tenant where applicable, subject to the exceptions under subsection f. of this section and any limitation on the number of votes per unit permitted under paragraph (9) of this subsection, from voting for any nominated candidate in an executive board election. (8) An association shall not prevent voting for an executive board member by electronic means where the executive board determines to employ voting in such manner and an association member, or voting-eligible tenant where applicable, consents to casting a vote in such manner. (9) An association shall not provide for an allocation of votes other than one vote for each unit, or such larger number of equal votes per unit as may be set forth in the governing documents of the association, except (a) where the bylaws or other governing document provide for the voting interest to be proportional to a unit's value or size, (b) where the governing documents permit more than one vote to be cast by each unit on an equal basis or a basis consistent with each unit's value or size, or (c) where the governing documents do not set forth the number of votes that may be cast by each unit, then in accordance with a rule adopted by the executive board that allows more than one vote to be cast by each unit, provided such rule assigns an equal number of votes to each unit. (10) Election procedures shall not be established or administered in any way to prohibit participation by the residents of low or moderate income housing units. d. Initial executive board elections in condominium associations, governed under the "Condominium Act," P.L.1969, c.257 (C.46:8B-1 et seq.), shall follow the notice timeline under subsection b. of section 2 of P.L.1979, c.157 (C.46:8B-12.1), and shall not be subject to this section. e.
