Bill > S826

Introduced Session

This bill permits the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to designate and appoint examiners that are licensed to operate drivers' schools to conduct the road test required to obtain a driver's license. The bill requires the examiner, upon the completion of a road test, to provide the applicant sitting for the road test with documentation, in accordance with procedures prescribed by the MVC, certifying successful or unsuccessful completion of the road test. Any applicant, who has successfully completed a road test conducted by an examiner licensed to operate a driver's school, is to provide the document certifying successful completion of the road test, in addition to all other documents required pursuant to law, to an MVC agency or regional service center to obtain a probationary driver's license. Any applicant, who has unsuccessfully completed a road test conducted by an examiner licensed to operate a driving school, is required to wait a period of 14 days prior to retaking the road test. Under the bill, the Chief Administrator of the MVC is required to promulgate rules for the conduct of drivers' schools, including the standards for the provision of the road tests that are conducted by an examiner licensed to operate a driver's school within 30 days of the implementation of the bill. The temporary rules and regulations adopted under the bill are to be in effect for a period not to exceed one year after the date of the filing with Office of Administrative Law. Any rules and regulations adopted, amended, or readopted thereafter by the MVC are to be in accordance with the requirements of the "Administrative Procedure Act."
