Bill > A1395

This bill clarifies the procedures for restoring a driver's license after it has been suspended or revoked, specifically by allowing courts to waive imprisonment penalties under certain conditions. It amends existing law (R.S.39:3-40) to state that if a person has completed their suspension period and paid the required restoration fee, the court must waive any jail time associated with the violation. The bill also modifies the penalties for operating a vehicle with a suspended license, changing some mandatory imprisonment terms to discretionary ones, and clarifies that the chief administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission will notify licensees about their suspension or revocation and the requirement to pay a restoration fee, which is set at $100 and for which proof of payment will be provided.
