CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT
As reported by the Assembly Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee on May 12, 2022, with amendments.
An Act concerning operations at New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission agencies and supplementing Title 39 of the Revised Statutes.
Be It Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of the State of New Jersey:
1. a. For purposes of this section, "vehicle and licensing services" shall include, but not be limited to: providing a change of address; and obtaining the issuance or renewal of basic driver's licenses, examination permits, special learner's permits, probationary driver's licenses, identification cards, registration certificates, motor vehicle certificates of ownership, including transfers of ownership, and motor vehicle license plates.
b. Notwithstanding any law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission shall provide both vehicle and licensing services at each commission agency location and shall allow these services to be completed 1[in-person] in person1 at each commission agency location. The commission shall not require a customer to complete vehicle and licensing services online.
c. At each commission agency location, the commission shall provide service to walk-in customers seeking vehicle and licensing services and shall not require an appointment for such services.
1d. The commission shall permanently adopt a scheduling system that allows an applicant for, or holder of, a commercial driver's license to schedule an appointment via the Internet for written tests, skills tests, and endorsement tests and subsequently take the test at a commission facility. The tests shall be available at each commission agency location or facility and the scheduling shall be available to all commercial motor vehicle drivers, in addition to any titling or other motor vehicle services that are required to be completed in person.1
2. This act shall take effect on the first day of the fourth month after enactment, but the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission may take anticipatory actions necessary to implement the provisions of this act.
