Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to establish and maintain an electronic toll collection exemption program (toll exemption program) for certain disabled veterans who have an account with the New Jersey electronic toll collection system (E-ZPass). The toll exemption program is to be available for a vehicle that is owned or leased by a disabled veteran; is registered in the State of New Jersey and displays a license plate bearing the term "Disabled Vet" that was issued for the motor vehicle; and has an active New Jersey E-ZPass account. To qualify for the toll exemption program, a disabled veteran is required to have applied and been approved for a license plate bearing the term "Disabled Vet" before applying for the toll exemption program.

AI Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to create toll exemption programs for certain disabled veterans who use E-ZPass, an electronic toll collection system. To qualify, a disabled veteran must own or lease a vehicle registered in New Jersey with a special "Disabled Vet" license plate and maintain an active E-ZPass account. Before applying for the toll exemption, the veteran must first obtain the special license plate through the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Once approved for the "Disabled Vet" license plate, the veteran can then apply for the toll exemption program, which the NJTA and SJTA are required to approve. The bill defines key terms such as "disabled veteran" by referencing an existing state law and specifies that the electronic toll collection system is the method by which tolls are registered and collected at toll plazas. The legislation will take effect 90 days after it is enacted, providing time for the authorities to implement the new exemption programs.
