Bob and John,

Yeah, NJ is getting a bad deal. The 35 hours is all because of the local associations. I think that 10 hours was enough for renewal of our Lic. The Assoc. just wanted to get into the act. They said that if you join our assoc. we can give you the extra hours that you need. That is BS in my eyes. John, as you said, as an AHJ I need all of these classes for my HHS and sub code lic. yet they wouldn't accept it for my contractors Lic. I am going to take the 10 update just for the fun of it, but I am not taking anymore. I will "shelf" my Lic. till/If I need it again. I don't have a bus. permit anymore and I don't have a seal. But I don't want to give up the Lic.
