Permits persons who are hearing impaired to apply for vehicle identification placards.

This bill (A3661) allows individuals with hearing impairments - identified by a specific numerical code on their New Jersey driver's license - to apply for a free vehicle windshield placard displaying the international deaf symbol. The placard, issued by the Motor Vehicle Commission, must be displayed per commission guidelines but does not grant access to disability parking privileges unless the person also holds a separate disability placard. The bill directly affects hearing-impaired drivers who currently lack a dedicated placard option and clarifies that this placard is solely for identification, not for accessing disability parking benefits.
