S 4609 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes certain county fire coordinators to display emergency warning lights on vehicles.

This bill (S 4609) authorizes county fire coordinators and deputy county fire coordinators to display emergency warning lights and sirens on their vehicles while responding to fire or emergency calls. It adds these officials to the existing list of authorized users (like volunteer fire company chiefs and emergency management personnel) under New Jersey law. To legally use the lights, coordinators must obtain identification cards from the Motor Vehicle Commission - issued by county officials after a request - before mounting lights, and must carry the card while operating them. The bill maintains that these officials must still obey all traffic laws and yield to emergency vehicles as required by state law.
