AI Summary
This bill prohibits the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) from accepting certain immigration-related documents as valid proof of identity when an individual is applying for various types of driver's licenses and identification cards. Specifically, the bill prevents the MVC from using documents issued by the United States Department of Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) related to an individual's removal or deportation proceedings as a form of identification. These documents include, but are not limited to, orders of release on recognizance and orders of supervision. The bill applies to standard driver's licenses, identification cards, motorcycle licenses, learner's permits, examination permits, probationary driver's licenses, and commercial driver's licenses. The legislation takes effect immediately, meaning the new restrictions on acceptable identification documents will be implemented right away. By limiting the types of immigration documents that can be used for identification purposes, the bill aims to establish stricter standards for proving identity when obtaining official state-issued identification and driving credentials.
