A 1986 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits issuance of warrant for failure to pay fines and fees associated with non-moving motor vehicle violation.

This bill prohibits courts from issuing arrest warrants for unpaid fines or fees related to non-moving traffic violations (like parking tickets or equipment violations that don’t add points to a driver’s license). It directly affects residents who owe money for these specific traffic tickets, preventing arrest warrants from being issued solely due to non-payment. The law defines "non-moving violations" as those not assessed with motor vehicle points under existing law (N.J.S.A. 39:5-30.5). Existing warrants issued before this law’s effective date for such violations are voided. The bill takes effect immediately.
