16. a. Notwithstanding any provision of the "Municipal Land Use Law," P.L.1975, c.291 (C.40:55D-1 et seq.), or any other law to the contrary, no municipality or county shall adopt an ordinance or resolution or promulgate any rules or regulations relating to a licensed locksmith or alarm business that: (1) requires the licensing or registration of locksmiths or alarm businesses; (2) requires a locksmith or an alarm business to submit information about the business' systems; (3) requires a locksmith or an alarm business to pay an alarm registration or licensure fee to a third party person or business; (4) requires a permit or fee for the installation of a perimeter fence intrusion protection system in addition to an alarm system permit issued by the municipality or county; (5) imposes an installation or operational requirement for a perimeter fence intrusion protection system that is inconsistent with the requirements and standards of the act; (6) impedes the installation or continued operation of a perimeter fence intrusion protection system; or (7) prohibits the installation or use of a perimeter fence intrusion protection system. b. The provisions of any ordinance or resolution or rules or regulations of any municipality or county relating to the licensing or registration of locksmiths or alarm businesses are superseded by the provisions of this act. Municipal and county officials and employees shall comply with the provisions of the act. Nothing in this section shall be construed, however, to prohibit municipal regulation of door-to-door vendors or salespersons of burglar alarm, fire alarm or electronic security systems nor shall anything in this section be construed to prohibit or restrict municipal consideration of alarm business service proposals in consent proceedings under the "Cable Television Act," P.L.1972, c.186 (C.48:5A-1 et seq.).
