Bill Summary

This bill authorizes the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to issue 100 Percent Disabled Veteran license plates. In addition to honoring those veterans who have been rendered 100 percent disabled while serving the country, this plate grants those 100 percent disabled veterans all the benefits, privileges, and considerations afforded to the holders of handicapped license plates, most notably the privilege of legally parking in handicapped parking areas. Under the bill, these special plates are to display the words "100 Percent Disabled Veteran" and an emblem or symbol chosen by the chief administrator, after consulting with representatives of organizations consisting of or representing the interests of 100 percent disabled veterans. There is to be no cost to the applicant for 100 Percent Disabled Veteran license plates. Finally, the bill specifies that these plates are not transferable and are exclusively for the use of the person to whom they are duly issued. The knowing misuse or abuse of any benefit, privilege, or consideration granted to a holder of a 100 Percent Disabled Veteran license plate will be sufficient cause for the revocation of the benefits, privileges, and considerations provided to the holder of the license plate and the forfeiture of the license plate.

AI Summary

This bill authorizes the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to issue special license plates for "100 percent disabled veterans," which are defined as honorably discharged veterans who have been officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs as being 100 percent disabled. These plates, which will display "100 Percent Disabled Veteran" and a chosen symbol, will be provided at no cost to eligible veterans and will grant them the same parking privileges as those with handicapped license plates, including the ability to park in designated handicapped spots. The bill also specifies that these plates are non-transferable and that misuse or abuse of the associated benefits can lead to their revocation and the forfeiture of the license plate.
