Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to provide motorcycle licenses and Military Veteran motorcycle license plates to certain veterans free of charge. The bill requires MVC to waive the payment of fees for the issuance of a Standard motorcycle license or endorsement or REAL ID motorcycle license whenever the applicant establishes that the applicant has been discharged honorably or under general honorable conditions in any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States, or a Reserve component thereof, or the National Guard of this State or another state, as certified on the applicant's DD-214, DD-215, or DD-256 form as issued by the federal government, NGB-22, or other approved separation forms as outlined by all branches of the Armed Forces, a county-issued veteran identification card, or a veteran identification card as issued by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs under the "Veterans Identification Card Act of 2015," or on a Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty. The bill eliminates the $50 application fee and $10 renewal fee for the purchase of Military Veteran motorcycle license plates, except those fees otherwise required by law for the registration of motorcycles, for the aforementioned group of veterans. Notwithstanding the provisions of existing law, the bill also requires the MVC to begin the design, production, and issuance process of the Military Veteran motor cycle license plates upon the receipt of 500 applications for the Military Veteran motorcycle license plates.
