Bill Summary
Requires MVC to place designation on motor vehicle's registration information indicating registrant is deaf or hard of hearing.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to add a special designation to a person's motor vehicle registration information if they have a significant hearing loss, defined as a pure tone average of 41 decibels or greater in their better ear, verified by a medical professional like an ENT or audiologist. This designation, which will be the international symbol for deafness or a numerical code, will only be visible to law enforcement officers when they access the vehicle's registration information online and will serve to alert them that the registrant is deaf or hard of hearing. The bill aims to provide a discreet way for law enforcement to be aware of a driver's hearing impairment, and it will take effect 180 days after being enacted, applying to new or renewed registrations thereafter.
