Bill > A1250

Introduced Session

This bill requires the Chief Administrator (chief administrator) of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (commission) and licensed motor vehicle dealers to issue two green removable, transferable, highly visible, reflective decals for the identification of electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, owned or leased and registered in this State. The bill defines "electric vehicle" as any passenger automobile or other motor vehicle that is propelled solely by one or more electric motors or energy storage device and "plug-in hybrid vehicle" as any passenger automobile or other motor vehicle that can be charged from a source of electricity external to the vehicle through an electric plug, but which is not solely powered by electricity. Under the bill, the decals are to be designed by the chief administrator, in consultation with the Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety in the Department of Law and Public Safety (director). There is to be no fee for the issuance of the decals. The decals are required to be displayed in a manner prescribed by the chief administrator, in consultation with the director, and be clearly visible to law enforcement officers and first responders. The decals are required to be removed and returned to the commission within 30 days of the date that the ownership or leasehold period of the vehicle has ended. The bill requires the chief administrator, after consultation with the director, to adopt regulations specifying the size, placement, issuance by licensed motor vehicle dealers, and other formal requirements or additional safeguards as the chief administrator deems necessary for issuance and display of the decals.
