Provides for suspension of driver's license for certain offenses and acknowledges Legislature's prior repeal of N.J.S.2B: 12-31.
This bill establishes a new mechanism for suspending driver's licenses when individuals fail to appear in court for certain offenses or default on court-ordered payments like fines, community service, or restitution. It requires courts to provide notice and a hearing opportunity before suspending a license, and mandates that municipal courts notify the Motor Vehicle Commission of any suspension. The bill also clarifies that a previously repealed law (N.J.S.A.2B:12-31) was fully repealed in 2019 and not revived by a 2021 amendment, while adding a six-month grace period for paying outstanding fines after the law takes effect.
