Bill Summary
This bill requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to establish and maintain an electronic 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 collected through their electronic toll collection systems, which are commonly known as 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 for that vehicle. Importantly, a disabled veteran must first apply for and be approved for the "Disabled Vet" license plate before they can apply for the toll exemption program. Once a disabled veteran has secured the special license plate, both the NJTA and SJTA are mandated to approve their application for the toll exemption program. This act will become effective 90 days after it is signed into law.
