A 706 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes young driver program for commercial driver licences.

This bill (A706) requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to create a program specifically designed to help young drivers (typically ages 18-25) obtain commercial driver licenses (CDLs). The program must assist young drivers in getting CDLs, promote the benefits of holding one, and connect them with employment opportunities in the commercial trucking industry through industry partnerships. The MVC must include annual reports on program participation, CDL completions, and job placements in its public reports. The bill directly affects young New Jersey residents seeking careers in commercial driving and aims to address workforce needs in the trucking sector.
