Section 5:62-3.1 - Requirement for business permit

(a) Except as provided in (b) below, no person shall advertise, enter into, or engage in the business of landscape irrigation contracting, unless the person has first secured a business permit from the Board, and such person or an officer, partner, or employee who is actively engaged in the business has obtained a landscape irrigation contractor's certificate, and such designated certified landscape irrigation contractor has assumed full responsibility for the inspection and supervision of all landscape irrigation contracting work performed by the person. The person who has secured the business permit is known as the "permittee" or the "business permit holder," and the certified landscape irrigation holder responsible for the inspection and supervision of all landscape irrigation contracting performed by the permittee is known as the "designated certificate holder." To apply for a business permit, the person shall complete and submit a business permit application in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:62-3.2, including designating a certificate holder to be the permittee's designated certificate holder. The designated certificate holder shall be a natural person to whom the Board has issued a landscape irrigation contractor certificate, and may be the business permit applicant, or an officer, partner, or employee who is or will be actively engaged in the business of the permittee. The designated certificate holder shall be responsible for the inspection and supervision of all landscape irrigation contracting work to be performed by the permittee.

(b) No later than June 15, 2014, every business entity engaged in the business of landscape irrigation contracting, including the advertising of such available services, that has registered with the Board a registered certificate holder pursuant to the rules effective December 18, 2006, shall submit a complete application for a business permit, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 5:62-3.2, to the Board. As provided in (a) above, as of March 17, 2014, all other persons shall secure a business permit from the Board prior to engaging in the business of landscape irrigation contracting. Nothing in this subsection shall relieve any person from the requirement of obtaining a business permit for entering into, engaging in, or advertising the business of landscape irrigation contracting.

(c) If the business permit applicant employs more than one certificate holder, the business permit applicant shall inform the Board which certificate holder will be the permittee's designated certificate holder.

(d) A certificate holder shall be the designated certificate holder for only one permittee.
