§ 53:2-14.

a. The division shall, at regular intervals, remove from the longshoremen's register

any person who shall have been registered for at least nine months and who shall have

failed during the preceding six calendar months either to have worked as a longshoreman

in the port of New York district in this State or to have applied for employment as

a longshoreman at an employment information center established under section 16 of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.53:2-21 ) for the minimum number of days as shall have been established by the division pursuant

to subsection b. of this section. b. On or before the first day of June following the date on which P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.32:23-229 et al.) becomes operative, and on or before each succeeding first day of June or

December, the division shall, for the purposes of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.32:23-229 et al.), establish for the six-month period beginning on each date a minimum number

of days and the distribution of the days during that period. c. In establishing any minimum number of days or period, the division shall consult

with the collective bargaining representatives of stevedores and other employers of

longshoremen in the port of New York district and with labor organizations representing

longshoremen in the district. d. A longshoreman who has been removed from the longshoremen's register pursuant to

subsection e. of section 8 of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.53:2-13 ) may seek reinstatement upon fulfilling the same requirements as for initial inclusion

in the longshoremen's register, but not before the expiration of one year from the

date of removal, except that immediate reinstatement shall be made upon proper showing

that the registrant's failure to work or apply for work for the minimum number of

days, described in subsection c. of this section, was caused by the fact that the

registrant was engaged in the military service of the United States or was incapacitated

by ill health, physical injury, or other good cause. e. Notwithstanding any other provision of P.L.2017, c. 324 ( C.32:23-229 et al.), the division shall at any time have the power to register longshoremen on

a temporary basis to meet special or emergency needs.
