Authorizes creation of registered nurse license plates.
This bill, S 781, would allow registered nurses in New Jersey to apply for special vehicle license plates displaying the caduceus symbol and the words "Registered Nurse." Nurses would pay a $50 application fee (plus a $10 annual renewal fee) to the Motor Vehicle Commission, which would design the plates and manage the program. The state must first secure funding to cover initial costs before implementation, and the program could end if annual plate costs exceed fees for two consecutive years. The bill directly affects licensed nurses seeking to display their profession on their vehicles, with no changes to existing vehicle registration requirements.
