Bill > S4648

This bill directs the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to negotiate a driver's license reciprocity agreement with the Republic of Ireland. Under this proposed agreement, drivers with valid licenses from New Jersey would be able to apply for an Irish driver's license, and drivers with valid Irish licenses would be able to apply for a New Jersey driver's license, without having to take additional driving knowledge or skills tests. The reciprocity agreement would require applicants to meet certain unspecified requirements, which would be detailed in the final agreement. The bill aims to simplify the process of obtaining a driver's license for individuals moving between New Jersey and Ireland by eliminating the need for repeat testing, thus making it easier for drivers to transfer their driving credentials between the two jurisdictions. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment, enabling the MVC and the Department of State to begin coordinating the reciprocity agreement with Irish authorities.
