A 698 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits MVC from charging fee for restoring driver's license suspended due to mental or physical condition.

This bill (A698) stops the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) from charging a $100 fee when restoring a driver's license suspended due to a mental or physical condition that affects a driver's ability to operate a vehicle safely. It directly affects drivers whose licenses were suspended based on medical evaluations, ensuring they don't face an additional cost to regain driving privileges. The bill amends existing law to explicitly exclude these cases from the standard restoration fee, which previously applied to all suspended licenses. This creates a clear policy change: no fee is required for license reinstatement in mental/physical condition cases. The amendment takes effect immediately upon passage.
