aiding and abetting others perform licensed work
*********************
Ken:
    New Jersey has sent out a warning from The Department of Business and Professional Regulation reminding all that it's illegal to assist someone to perform any act that assists another to engage in unlicensed business activity.  Here is the notice:
    Contractor Notice  
The Department of Business and Professional Regulation (Department) sends this notice to remind Electrical Contractors’ Licensing Board (ECLB) licensees that it is against the law to perform any act which assists a person or entity in engaging in the prohibited uncertified and unregistered practice of contracting, which includes obtaining permits on behalf of unlicensed individuals. Any such act constitutes aiding and assisting unlicensed activity under section 489.533, F.S. 
 
Enforcement Action 
The Department is dedicated to protecting the public by combatting unlicensed activity and enforcement action will be brought against those who violate the law under the jurisdiction of the ECLB pursuant to chapter 489, F.S., part II.  
 
Specifically, Rule 61G6-10.002, F.A.C., provides the ECLB’s disciplinary guidelines per violation of section 489.533(1)(j) or (k), F.S., which outlines level of fines from $2000 to $10,000 and provide for discipline from reprimand to revocation of license.

Response
******************
    States are ramping up enforcement efforts regarding license enforcement.  It would be poor business to build a meaningful business only to get fined into bankruptcy and kicked out of the state, or both.  Be diligent and have all the necessary licenses you need to operate in the state where you will be conducting any business with customers.
    When you don't have the credentials to get the license be sure to find employees who do have the credentials and are willing to hold the license.  If you are bringing in someone who is not currently or regularly expected to work for you then you need to be sure that the relationship is as required by the AHJ, and real. When you get an outside qualifier you should have a Qualifier Agreement which will specify the respective roles the qualifier and company will play; what is expected and required of each.  K&K License Coordinator Eileen Wagda can assist; her contact info is 516 747 6700 x 312 or EWagda@Kirschenbaumesq.com
