A 1175 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Exempts Purple Heart recipients from payment of motor vehicle registration, driver's license, and identification card fees.

This bill would exempt Purple Heart recipients from paying motor vehicle registration fees, driver's license fees, and identification card fees in New Jersey. It amends New Jersey's motor vehicle and licensing laws (specifically R.S. 39:3-10, P.L.1948, c.28, and P.L.1980, c.47) to explicitly include Purple Heart recipients in the list of veterans eligible for these fee exemptions. The exemption applies to residents of New Jersey who have received the Purple Heart medal or its successor military honor for service in the U.S. Armed Forces. This change would provide immediate financial relief for Purple Heart recipients regarding routine vehicle and identification documentation costs.
