S 4611 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

"Vehicle Choice Protection Act"; prohibits State agencies from adopting rules, regulations, or policies that restrict or prohibit sale, registration, or use of new internal combustion vehicles in State.

S 4611, the "Vehicle Choice Protection Act," prohibits New Jersey state agencies from creating rules, regulations, or policies that restrict or ban the sale, registration, or use of new gasoline or diesel-powered vehicles. It directly affects all state agencies (such as the Department of Environmental Protection or Motor Vehicle Commission) by blocking them from adopting any measures that would limit new internal combustion engine vehicles. The key provision explicitly bans state agencies from implementing rules with the purpose or effect of restricting these vehicles, ensuring they cannot be barred from the market. The bill takes immediate effect and focuses solely on preventing regulatory barriers, without addressing electric vehicle policies or creating new requirements.
