Overview
This bill requires plaintiffs filing malpractice lawsuits against enrolled agents in New Jersey to obtain an affidavit of merit. An affidavit of merit is a sworn statement from another professional in the same field asserting a reasonable probability that the defendant’s actions met professional standards. The bill amends existing state law to include enrolled agents, who are designated by the Internal Revenue Service, within the category of licensed professionals protected from frivolous malpractice lawsuits.
