A 109 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires MVC to offer driver's license knowledge test in Italian.

Bill A 109 requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to offer the driver's license knowledge test in Italian, along with the two other most commonly spoken non-English languages in the state. This amendment to state law (R.S.39:3-10) directly affects applicants for driver's licenses who speak Italian or the other designated languages. The key provision mandates the MVC to periodically verify the top three non-English languages and provide testing in those languages, ensuring accessibility for a broader range of applicants.
