Bill Summary

This bill would allow a person to idle a gasoline-fueled motor vehicle on residential property. Idling is a common method of warming up a motor vehicle before driving. The current Department of Environmental Protection regulation concerning motor vehicle idling, N.J.A.C.7:27-15.8, prevents a person from idling a gasoline-fueled motor vehicle for more than three minutes under most circumstances. While the regulation provides seven exemptions from this prohibition, there is no exemption for warming up a car on residential property. This bill would prevent a person from being penalized for warming up a motor vehicle on residential property.

AI Summary

This bill would allow a person to idle a gasoline-fueled motor vehicle on residential property, even though the current Department of Environmental Protection regulation generally prohibits idling a vehicle for more than three minutes. The bill would prevent a person from being penalized for warming up a motor vehicle on residential property, as the regulation does not currently provide an exemption for this purpose.
