Bill Summary
Changes certain driver testing and education requirements for persons with disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill modifies driver testing and education requirements for persons with disabilities by introducing several key provisions. Specifically, the bill allows persons with disabilities to take their road test with a parent or guardian in the vehicle, permits persons with disabilities aged 16 or older to obtain a special learner's permit regardless of whether they have completed a behind-the-wheel driving education course, and allows persons with disabilities to complete their behind-the-wheel driving education with a parent or guardian who holds a valid New Jersey driver's license. The bill defines a "person with a disability" as someone with a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, or who has a history of such an impairment, as determined by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. These changes aim to provide more flexibility and support for individuals with disabilities in obtaining their driver's license. The bill also makes several technical amendments to existing laws, such as updating language and clarifying procedures for obtaining various types of driving permits and licenses. The modifications are designed to make the driver licensing process more accessible and accommodating for persons with disabilities while maintaining safety standards.
