Exempts public institutions of higher education from motor vehicle registration fee.
Bill A-155 exempts public institutions of higher education in New Jersey from paying motor vehicle registration fees for vehicles not used for pleasure or hire. This applies to all public universities, colleges, county colleges, and junior colleges defined under state law, including Rutgers and state-funded institutions. The bill amends existing law (R.S.39:3-27) to explicitly add these entities to the list of exempt organizations, aligning them with other government and nonprofit groups already excluded. The exemption covers registration fees but does not affect other vehicle-related costs or requirements.
