Requires MVC to issue blue envelopes that hold documents required to operate motor vehicle to persons diagnosed with autism.
This bill requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to create and distribute special blue envelopes for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. The envelopes must be easily recognizable to law enforcement, hold a driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance card, and include written information identifying the holder's diagnosis plus communication guidance for officers. To obtain an envelope, individuals or their caregivers must provide specified documentation. The bill mandates MVC to develop this system in consultation with human services, state police, and autism advocacy groups, with implementation beginning 12 months after enactment.
