Bill Summary
This bill prohibits the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission from charging a fee for the registration of a wheelchair trailer and provides that a wheelchair trailer is to comply with the maximum dimensions applicable to trailers as provided in current law.

AI Summary
This bill amends existing New Jersey law to eliminate the registration fee for wheelchair trailers, meaning individuals will no longer have to pay to register these specialized vehicles with the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. The bill also clarifies that a wheelchair trailer must adhere to the same maximum size regulations as other trailers. A "wheelchair trailer" is defined as a non-motorized vehicle designed to be towed, with a gross load capacity of no more than 2,000 pounds, specifically intended for carrying only a wheelchair, and not for commercial use or for hire. This change aims to reduce costs for individuals who use these trailers, likely for accessibility purposes.
