This bill revises penalties for various limousine law violations in New Jersey, significantly increasing fines and introducing more severe consequences for repeat offenders. Specifically, for third and subsequent offenses related to operating a limousine without a municipal license, permitting an unlicensed driver, lacking proper insurance, or exceeding passenger capacity, the bill imposes a $7,500 fine, a six-month driver's license suspension, and vehicle impoundment. Similarly, for third and subsequent offenses involving operating a limousine without special registration plates or without proper inspection, the bill establishes a $7,500 fine and vehicle impoundment. The bill also maintains existing penalties for other less serious violations, such as minor documentation or equipment issues, with fines ranging from $50 to $500 depending on the offense and number of prior violations. Additionally, the bill empowers State Police officers to inspect limousine service properties upon probable cause of regulatory violations, ensuring broader enforcement of limousine safety and operational standards.
