Bill Summary
Amends State Constitution to dedicate portion of revenue from motor vehicle fees and surcharges to transit system.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution proposes an amendment to the State Constitution that would dedicate a portion of the revenue generated from motor vehicle fees and surcharges to fund the state's transit system, specifically the New Jersey Transit Corporation or a similar public entity. The amendment ensures that the transit system receives any revenue from these fees that remains after the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (or its successor) keeps what it needs for its own operations and after a specific amount, equivalent to what the General Fund received in fiscal year 2018, is accounted for. This means that while the Motor Vehicle Commission's operational funding is protected, the General Fund's share from these fees would be capped, with the excess revenue directed towards public transportation. This proposal will be put to a public vote in the next general election.
