Bill Summary

This bill would allow a person to idle a gasoline-fueled motor vehicle on residential property. Idling is a common method of warming up a motor vehicle before driving. The current Department of Environmental Protection regulation concerning motor vehicle idling, N.J.A.C.7:27-15.8, prevents a person from idling a gasoline-fueled motor vehicle for more than three minutes under most circumstances. While the regulation provides seven exemptions from this prohibition, there is no exemption for warming up a car on residential property. This bill would prevent a person from being penalized for warming up a motor vehicle on residential property.

AI Summary

The regulation generally prohibits idling for more than three minutes, with some exemptions, but does not currently have an exemption for warming up a car on residential property. This bill would prevent a person from being penalized for idling their vehicle on residential property.
