Bill > S629

This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to issue only one license plate for motor vehicles instead of the current two, amending existing law to reflect this change. The law, which previously mandated displaying identification marks or plates on both the front and rear of a vehicle, will now specify that a single license plate, furnished by the commission, should be displayed on the rear. This change applies to most vehicles, including motorcycles, though exceptions are made for certain commercial vehicles like tank trucks and sanitation vehicles. The bill also allows individuals who were previously issued two plates to return one to the commission and display a single plate on the rear of their vehicle. The new requirement will take effect on the first day of the fourth month after the bill becomes law, with provisions for the Chief Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission to take necessary preparatory actions.
