Bill Summary
Requires MVC to issue special windshield stickers marking electric vehicles exempt from emission inspections.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) issue special windshield stickers to identify electric vehicles that are exempt from emission inspections. An "electric vehicle" is defined as a vehicle powered solely by electricity, without an on-board engine or generator, and not using hydrocarbon fuel to create electricity, specifically including plug-in electric vehicles but excluding plug-in hybrid electric and solar-powered vehicles. These stickers, which will be provided at no cost, will be designed in consultation with the Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety and must be displayed visibly. Owners or lessees must return the stickers within 30 days of selling or ending the lease of the vehicle. The bill also directs the Chief Administrator of the MVC to adopt regulations regarding the sticker's size, placement, and other necessary details, with the law taking effect 13 months after enactment, though the MVC can take preparatory actions sooner.
