Bill Summary

This bill requires a commercial motor vehicle operating upon the public highways of this State to be equipped with a global positioning system navigation program that provides information about upcoming highway infrastructure with low vertical clearance and weight restrictions and dynamic route directions that account for commercial motor vehicle restrictions.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that certain large trucks, defined as "commercial motor vehicles" weighing 26,001 pounds or more, must be equipped with a global positioning system (GPS) navigation program when operating on New Jersey highways. This GPS system must provide drivers with crucial information about upcoming road hazards such as low bridges or overpasses (low vertical clearance) and weight limits, and it must also offer dynamic route directions that are specifically tailored to the truck's height and weight, helping to prevent drivers from entering restricted areas. The Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is tasked with creating the necessary regulations to implement this law, which will take effect immediately but will not be enforceable for 180 days after its enactment.
