AR96

Encourages New Jersey municipalities to accept electronically submitted documents from licensed architects and landscape architects.

This bill encourages New Jersey municipalities to adopt the practice of accepting electronically submitted documents from licensed architects and landscape architects. The New Jersey State Board of Architects has adopted rules allowing for the electronic submission of digitally signed and sealed documents. Municipalities will benefit from immediate document receipt, reduced paper usage, and less need for physical storage space. Government entities increasingly prefer or require electronic submissions, and these rules facilitate quick and easy document transmission.
