§ 53:2-15.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.32:23-229 et al.), the division shall have the power to remove from the longshoremen's register
any person, including a person registered as longshoremen for less than nine months,
who shall have failed to have worked as a longshoreman in the port of New York district
in this State for a minimum number of days during a period of time as shall have been
established by the division. In administering this section, the division, in its discretion, may count applications
for employment as a longshoreman at an employment information center established pursuant
to section 16 of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.53:2-21 ) as constituting actual work as a longshoreman, provided, however, that the division
shall count as actual work the compensation received by any longshoreman pursuant
to the guaranteed wage provisions of any collective bargaining agreement relating
to longshoremen. Prior to the commencement of any period of time established by the division pursuant
to this section, the division shall establish for that period the minimum number of
days of work required and the distribution of days during that period and shall also
determine whether or not application for employment as a longshoreman shall be counted
as constituting actual work as a longshoreman. The division may classify longshoremen according to length of service as a longshoreman
and develop other criteria as may be reasonable and necessary to carry out the provisions
of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.32:23-229 et al.). The division shall have the power to vary the requirements of this section with
respect to their application to the various classifications of longshoremen. In administering this section, the division shall observe the standards set forth
in section 2 of P.L.1966, c. 18 ( C.32:23-114 ), as that section shall have been amended through the enactment of P.L.1999, c. 206 . Nothing in this section shall be construed to modify, limit, or restrict in any
way any of the rights protected by section 23 of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.53:2-28 ).
