“I am excited to see Governor Murphy sign the Occupational Licensing bill into law. Today New Jersey has taken one step closer to making our state a fair place for everyone to live and work. DACA and TPS holders, who are at risk of losing their certificate to practice in their chosen fields, will benefit and will be able to continue to contribute. The full effect of this law will finally be seen in the coming years. As an organizer of day laborers, I talk to many who in their home countries studied welding, electricity and plumbing, but cannot practice here. Today, the door is open for all New Jersey residents who aspire to work in a certified field.” Kevin Escobar, Wind of the Spirit<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
