Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to establish and maintain an electric toll collection exemption program (toll exemption program) for certain disabled veterans who have an account with the New Jersey electronic toll collection system (E-ZPass). The toll exemption program is to be available for a vehicle that is owned or leased by a disabled veteran; is registered in the State of New Jersey and displays a license plate bearing the term "Disabled Vet" that was issued for the motor vehicle; and has an active New Jersey E-ZPass account. To qualify for the toll exemption program, a disabled veteran is required to have applied and been approved for a license plate bearing the term "Disabled Vet" before applying for the toll exemption program. The NJTA and the SJTA are then required to approve an application by a disabled veteran who is in possession of and approved for a license plate bearing the term "Disabled Vet" for the toll exemption program.
AI Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to create and manage a program that exempts certain disabled veterans from paying tolls when using their electronic toll collection systems, like E-ZPass. To qualify, a disabled veteran must own or lease a vehicle registered in New Jersey that has a special license plate with the words "Disabled Vet" and an active New Jersey E-ZPass account. Before applying for the toll exemption, the veteran must first be approved for the "Disabled Vet" license plate by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Once approved for the special license plate, the NJTA and SJTA will then approve the veteran's application for the toll exemption program, meaning they will no longer be charged tolls on these authorities' roads.
