Division Issues Guidance on Implementing Business & Rental Unit Liability Insurance Law
The Division has issued Local Finance Notice 2022-23 providing guidance on implementing the new law (P.L. 2022, c. 92) requiring owners of businesses and rental units to annually register a certificate of insurance in the municipality where the business or rental unit is located. The Local Finance Notice notes that municipalities are provided with flexibility on how the municipality handles the annual registration, may charge a reasonable administrative fee, and may collect a fine for failure to comply with the law. The Local Finance Notice advises municipalities to consult with their municipal attorney to determine if a municipality can require proof of compliance as a condition of business license or non-Uniform Construction Code certificates of occupancy for rental units.
