A 189 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Removes authority of MVC to increase certain fees; sets certain fees by statute.

This bill removes the Motor Vehicle Commission's (MVC) authority to increase certain marine equipment registration and security interest fees, instead setting fixed fees by statute. It specifies $20 for standard certificate issuance, $30 for security interest transactions, and $10 for lien satisfaction notices. The law directly affects boat buyers, dealers, and anyone registering marine equipment or handling security interests in such equipment. These fee amounts can no longer be adjusted by the MVC and require legislative action for any future change.
