 | | The effective date of the Act was deferred from November 9, 2004 to December 31, 2005 by P.L. 2004, c. |
 | | Because under the Act home improvement includes any remodeling, altering, painting, repairing, renovating, restoring, moving, demolishing or modernization of or making additions to residential or non-commercial property, some contractors who do this work may not have realized that the law requires them to register under the Act. |
 | | The Division recognizes a need to minimize disruption and inconvenience to consumers, to allow contractors to complete the registration process while continuing to obtain permits necessary to perform certain work and to give guidance to municipal officials during the implementation of the registration scheme. |
