Authorizes issuance of accessory license plates for rear-mounted vehicle attachments.
This bill allows New Jersey to issue special "accessory license plates" for owners of passenger vehicles with rear-mounted attachments (like bike racks or cargo carriers) that block the main license plate. The accessory plate must match the vehicle's registration number, display "Accessory Use Only," and be securely mounted on the attachment. Owners pay a one-time fee (capped at administrative costs) to obtain the plate, and must return it if the vehicle's registration lapses, the vehicle is sold, or the attachment is no longer used. The bill directly affects drivers who use such rear-mounted attachments and ensures compliance with visibility requirements.
