A 1075 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires hearing-impairment designation to be printed on front of driver's license.

This bill requires New Jersey driver's licenses to display a hearing impairment designation on the front for eligible individuals. It applies to people with a verified hearing loss of 41 dB or greater (confirmed by an ENT or certified audiologist), who can choose between the international deafness symbol or a numerical code. The designation must appear prominently on the license front, with no additional fee beyond standard license costs. The change aims to improve visibility of hearing impairments for safety awareness during traffic interactions.
