S 2807 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires MVC to waive knowledge test requirement for certain military service members who apply for commercial driver license.

S 2807 requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to waive the knowledge test for military service members and veterans with an honorable discharge who apply for a commercial driver license (CDL) and have operated commercial vehicles during military service. To qualify, applicants must submit proof of military service or veteran status, a military CDL or documentation of their driving experience, and meet federal conditions like having no recent license suspensions or serious traffic violations. The waiver does not apply to applicants seeking licenses for vehicles carrying 16+ passengers, hazardous materials, or school buses. This change aligns with federal regulations (49 C.F.R. §383.77) that permit states to waive testing for qualified military drivers.
