Bill Summary
This bill permits individuals with a valid driver license and commercial driver license who also have either: 1) a federal Transportation Worker Identification Credential issued by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA); or 2) an endorsement to transport hazardous materials with a required TSA fingerprinting and background check, to renew their licenses as REAL-ID compliant versions by mail or the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) Internet website, and not in-person at an MVC agency. These individuals have already met federal REAL ID requirements as a result of having acquired certain federal TSA documents with requirements that are equal to or greater than REAL ID standards. As a result, it is reasonable to allow these individuals to renew their licenses as REAL ID versions without having to do so in person, given the lengthy wait times for in-person appointments to conduct REAL ID license transactions at this moment in time.
