Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (commission) to install and maintain continuous video surveillance at all license plate drop box locations where the commission accepts the return of license plates that are no longer in use and to ensure that the video footage is continuously recorded at each location. Surveillance cameras are to be positioned in a manner that ensures clear and comprehensive coverage of each drop box. The cameras are to be capable of capturing high-definition footage and providing visibility of all individuals who use the drop box for license plate returns. Recorded footage from the surveillance cameras is to be stored, secured, and accessible for at least 30 days from the date of recording. Footage is not to be used for any purpose other than the security of commission drop boxes and investigations into criminal activity related to the use of the drop boxes. Finally, the commission is required to ensure that appropriate signage is placed near the drop boxes informing the public that video surveillance is in operation.
