A 472 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Imposes restrictions on vehicle idling.

New Jersey's A472 bill restricts vehicle idling to two consecutive minutes for both gasoline and diesel-powered motor vehicles when not in motion, directly affecting drivers, bus operators, and commercial vehicle owners. Key provisions include exceptions for traffic congestion, emergency vehicles, bus passenger loading (up to 15 minutes per hour), and maintenance, while prohibiting idling near residential entrances/windows within 50 feet of apartment complexes or in electrified parking spaces. The bill also bans tampering with emissions controls and aligns with existing Department of Environmental Protection regulations. Violations carry civil penalties under current law.
