(cf: P.L.1999, c.337, s.3)
2. (New section) a. The Department of Education shall issue an authorization to serve as an educational facilities manager to an applicant who meets the criteria of a certified educational facilities manager as set forth in section 1 of P.L.1999, c.337 (C.18A:17-49).

STATEMENT
Under State Board of Education regulations, the Department of Education issues an authorization to serve as an educational facilities manager to persons who meet the requirements of section 1 of P.L.1999, c.337, which was effective in January of 2000, and places the name of that person upon a master list of certified educational facilities managers. This bill provides specific statutory authorization for that process and also provides that a certified educational facilities manager must apply for renewal of his authorization every three years. The application must include a certified statement that the applicant has completed at least 20 hours of training or continuing education in the last three years in fields of study related to school facilities in the State and approved by the department. In the case of an authorization issued by the department more than three years prior to the bill's effective date, the department will establish a schedule for the submission of renewal applications for those authorizations.
