Bill Summary

This bill eliminates the fee imposed by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission for the issuance of a special license plate for any person who is a compensated, partially compensated, or volunteer member of any fire department in this State (firefighter) or any person who is a compensated, partially compensated, or volunteer member of any first aid or rescue squad in this State. Under current law, firefighters and members of any first aid or rescue squad in this State may apply for and receive the special license plate, which costs $15 in addition to other fees prescribed by law for the registration of the firefighter's or member's vehicle. This bill allows firefighters and members of any first aid or rescue squad in this State to apply for and receive the special license plate for no additional cost, except for any fees prescribed by law for the registration of the firefighter's or member's vehicle. An individual is to annually renew the special plate. As part of the renewal, proof is to be submitted that demonstrates the individual remains a bona fide member of a fire fighting department or first aid or rescue squad in New Jersey.

AI Summary

This bill eliminates the $15 fee previously charged by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission for special license plates issued to firefighters and members of first aid or rescue squads, meaning these individuals will now receive these plates at no additional cost beyond standard vehicle registration fees. Under the current law, these special plates, which can feature a Maltese Cross and "F.D." for firefighters, are available to compensated, partially compensated, or volunteer members of these emergency services. The bill also introduces a requirement for these individuals to annually renew their special plates by providing proof that they remain active members of their respective departments or squads, ensuring the plates are only held by those currently serving.
