“Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in New Jersey and the lingering effects of the pandemic have only exacerbated the situation by reducing access to clinical trials and closing laboratories,” said Singer (R-30). “The additional funding and support provided by this bill will allow researchers to investigate new cancer treatments and new ways of preventing this insidious disease that has affected the lives of millions of people.”

“I am extremely pleased this bill was signed into law today. These small, but important updates to the advertising guidelines of the alarm and locksmith industries are long overdue,” said Singer (R-30). “Virtually every successful business, whether small or large, has a functioning website. There is simply no need to require license number information in ads—the business web address is more than satisfactory. This legislation will help cut red tape for our local businesses and encourage a more streamlined advertising production process.”

“The transient nature of military life creates many career-building obstacles for active-duty spouses,” said Singer (R-30). “Licensing costs alone can be a barrier to job entry, especially for spouses who are repeatedly relocated between duty stations across the nation and across the world. Waiving fees for occupational licensure will help spouses secure meaningful employment and make life a little easier for military families in New Jersey.”

“Some cable, phone, and internet providers lock customers into a one- or two-year contract and breaking that contract can result in an early termination fee that can cost a customer up to $300,” said Singer (R-30). “My legislation will eliminate these fees for individuals who become ill or disabled and must immediately enter a long-term care facility. Companies should not be charging these people fees, who, under no fault of their own, must leave their home to get the medical and personal care they need.”

“Reimbursement rates for brain injury services have remained static in recent years despite growing costs. This threatens the ability of providers to meet the complex needs of individuals with brain injuries and provide services within a safe and fulfilling community environment,” said Singer (R-30). “My legislation will more than double the reimbursement rate for special care nursing facilities, which will help offset the increased costs of staff and therapy services. This will ensure that people with brain injuries can continue to thrive and reach their optimal recoveries in community settings.”

“Formal education for any trade is important, but for many people, the cost of cosmetology school is just too high. In the case of manicurists, on-the-job training can be a sufficient substitute in lieu of more formal education,” said Singer (R-30). “My legislation will create a manicuring apprenticeship program, which will lower the monetary barrier to entry for anyone interested in learning about this field. This new, alternate route initiative will allow those who are ready and eager to work to get started as soon as possible.”

“For-profit debt adjustment companies are already permitted to operate in 34 states, but if New Jerseyans would like to employ the services of one, they are forced to use a Pennsylvania-based company,” said Singer (R-30). “This legislation will remove existing regulations to bring New Jersey into line with the rest of the country and, at the same time, provide a layer of protection for consumers by serving as a deterrent against adjusters who set out to deceive customers.”
