Requires motorcycle passengers to be 10 years of age or older.

This bill (S 1740) amends New Jersey law to require motorcycle passengers to be at least 10 years old. It directly affects motorcycle operators who carry passengers under 10, as they would face fines of $50-$100 for violations. The key provision updates existing safety rules by adding the minimum age requirement for passengers, which was previously not specified. The bill also specifies that passengers must wear helmets and ride with feet on footrests, as required by current law. It became effective immediately upon enactment.
