Bill > A2019

This bill has three key provisions: 1. It requires official and private vehicle inspection facilities to check for and provide written notice to vehicle owners of any open safety recalls on the vehicle during the inspection process. This notice must include a description of the recall and information that the recall can be repaired at no cost to the owner. 2. It requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to check for open recalls on vehicles before issuing a registration or renewal, and to provide written notice to the vehicle owner of any open recalls. The owner must then obtain the necessary recall repairs before the vehicle's next registration renewal, or the Commission may deny the renewal application. 3. It requires all motor vehicle manufacturers doing business in New Jersey to pay an annual fee to the Motor Vehicle Commission to cover the costs associated with implementing the recall notification requirements of this bill. The chief administrator can establish the fee amount and adopt rules and regulations to enforce this provision.
