Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to make the driver's license written examination (knowledge test) available in Punjabi. Under current law, the MVC is required to make driver's license written examination available in English and each of the three languages, other than English, most commonly spoken in the State, as determined by the Chief Administrator of the MVC.
AI Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to offer the driver's license knowledge test in Punjabi, in addition to English and the three languages other than English most commonly spoken in the state. Currently, the MVC is mandated to provide the written examination in multiple languages, with the specific languages determined periodically by the chief administrator. The bill modifies the existing law by explicitly adding Punjabi to the list of languages in which the exam can be taken. By expanding language options, the bill aims to make the driver's license knowledge test more accessible to New Jersey residents who may be more comfortable taking the exam in Punjabi. The change will help ensure that language barriers do not prevent eligible individuals from obtaining a driver's license, potentially making the testing process more inclusive for New Jersey's Punjabi-speaking population.
