Bill Summary
This bill clarifies that the driver's license, non-driver identification card, or motor vehicle registration certificate of any active duty member of the Armed Forces of the United States, and any person in the member's immediate family, is to remain valid beyond the expiration date until the earlier of the following dates: (1) 90 days after the date for which active duty service is scheduled to end, as provided on documentation issued by a branch of the Armed Forces of the United States; or (2) 90 days after the person's return to the State. The bill also permits the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to adopt temporary rules and regulations as the chief administrator determines to be necessary to effectuate the purposes of the bill, and 180 days thereafter, amend, adopt, or readopt the rules and regulations in accordance with the requirements of the "Administrative Procedure Act."
AI Summary
This bill clarifies and extends the validity of driver's licenses, non-driver identification cards, and motor vehicle registrations for active duty members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their immediate family members, meaning spouses, domestic partners, civil union partners, children, stepchildren, or individuals under legal guardianship. These documents will remain valid beyond their expiration date until 90 days after the scheduled end of active duty, as indicated by official military documentation, or 90 days after the person returns to the state, whichever comes first. The bill also grants the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission the authority to adopt temporary rules and regulations to implement these provisions, which can then be made permanent through the standard administrative process.
