Bill Summary

This bill allows the applicant for an examination permit, a driver's license, commercial driver license, non-driver identification card, or power vessel operator license to submit a valid emergency medical technician or paramedic certification card issued by the Department of Health to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) for the purposes of the MVC's Six-Point Identification Verification Program. The bill provides that these certification cards are to count for two points for the purposes of identification verification.

AI Summary

This bill allows individuals applying for various licenses and permits from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), such as an examination permit, driver's license, commercial driver license, non-driver identification card, or power vessel operator license, to use their valid emergency medical technician (EMT) or paramedic certification card as a form of identification. Currently, the MVC has a "Six-Point Identification Verification Program" where applicants must provide documents that add up to six points to prove their identity. This bill amends that program by allowing an EMT or paramedic certification card, issued by the Department of Health, to count for two points towards that six-point requirement, making it easier for certified EMTs and paramedics to fulfill the identification verification process.
