Revises penalties for certain violations of limousine laws.
S 4800 revises penalties for repeated violations of New Jersey's limousine safety and licensing laws. It increases fines for third and subsequent offenses of major violations - such as operating without a license, lacking $1.5 million insurance, exceeding passenger capacity, or failing to have required safety equipment - to $7,500, plus a six-month driver's license suspension and vehicle impoundment. The bill also raises penalties for repeated failures to use proper registration plates or maintain vehicle inspections. These changes directly affect limousine operators and drivers who repeatedly violate safety and licensing requirements. The bill amends existing law (P.L.1999, c.356) to strengthen enforcement of limousine regulations.
