SCR 34 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Amends State Constitution to dedicate portion of revenue from motor vehicle fees and surcharges to transit system.

SCR 34 proposes a constitutional amendment to direct a portion of motor vehicle fee revenue toward New Jersey's transit system. Specifically, it requires the state legislature to allocate to transit operations (like NJ Transit) any revenue from car registration fees and surcharges that exceeds two amounts: the funds kept by the Motor Vehicle Commission for its own operations, and the $500 million previously remitted to the General Fund in fiscal year 2018. This does not create new funding but redirects existing surplus revenue that would otherwise go to the General Fund. The amendment would take effect only after voter approval, and transit would receive the remaining funds each year after those two deductions.
