The Coalition of Licensed Professionals has added two major organizations to its list of supporters for A1982 (Prieto), the professional liability bill. The Insurance Council of New Jersey (ICNJ) and New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA) have added their support to the growing list of supporters to fix the statute of limitations for malpractice claims against licensed professionals to two years, similar to medical professionals.

“We welcome these two important organizations to the growing number of people who want fairness for professionals and protection for consumers,” said NJSBA President Robert B. Hille. “This legislation ensures a healthy insurance market is available to protect business small and large and to provide consumers with the protections they deserve when engaging with licensed professionals.”
