A 6193 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires MVC to offer driver's license knowledge test in Punjabi.

This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to offer the driver's license knowledge test in Punjabi, alongside English and the three most commonly spoken non-English languages in the state. It directly affects non-English speaking residents, particularly Punjabi speakers, who must pass this test to obtain a driver's license. The MVC must periodically update the list of required languages every five years based on the most common languages spoken statewide. The change ensures test accessibility for eligible applicants without altering other testing requirements or procedures.
