Bill > S172

This bill authorizes the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, referred to as the "commission," to allow the use of digital license plates, which are digital images displayed on electronic devices called "digital license plate devices" that can be mounted on vehicles. These digital plates must always show the vehicle's registration number and can also display other information approved by the commission, such as emergency alerts or personalized messages. The bill clarifies that using these digital plates is optional, meaning vehicle owners can choose to opt in to using them instead of traditional metal license plates. The commission is tasked with setting standards for these digital plates and devices, covering aspects like data sharing, privacy, and security, and ensuring that only approved devices are used. The commission will also establish rules and regulations to implement these changes, and while they can authorize the sale of these devices, they cannot charge extra fees beyond the standard vehicle registration cost.
