Bill Summary

This bill requires the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to issue special license plates for qualified disabled veterans. The plates allow disabled veterans to park in a parking space or zone that is restricted for use by a person with a disability, provided that the disabled veteran displays the veteran's valid, unexpired qualified disabled veteran license plate on the motor vehicle while parked in the parking space or zone. Under the bill, these special plates are to display the words "Disabled Veteran" and a wheelchair symbol. There is to be no cost to the applicant for these special license plates. Finally, the bill specifies that these plates are not transferable and are exclusively for the use of the person to whom they are duly issued. The knowing misuse or abuse of any benefit, privilege, or consideration granted to a holder of a qualified disabled veteran license plate will be sufficient cause for the revocation of the benefits, privileges, and considerations provided to the holder of the license plate and the forfeiture of the license plate.

AI Summary

This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to issue special license plates for qualified disabled veterans, defined as state residents certified by the federal Department of Veterans Affairs as having a service-connected disability. These license plates, which will be free of charge and display "Disabled Veteran" along with a wheelchair symbol, will allow eligible veterans to park in spaces reserved for persons with disabilities without needing separate identification cards or placards, provided the special plate is clearly displayed. The bill also clarifies that these plates are non-transferable and that any misuse or abuse of the parking privileges will result in the revocation of benefits and forfeiture of the license plate.
