N.J. Stat. § 45:14H-1: Findings, declarations relative to standards for persons installing, repairing, maintaining elevators, escalators, and moving walkways.

1. The Legislature finds and declares that the citizens and residents of the State of New Jersey are entitled to the maximum protection practicable when using elevator, escalator, and moving walkway devices, and that the protection can be increased by requiring appropriate training and experience for persons installing, repairing, and maintaining those devices. It is therefore necessary for the public good to establish standards of education, training, and experience for these installers and mechanics and to provide for their appropriate examination and certification.
