Requires vehicle identification number be stamped on catalytic converters of motor vehicles.
This bill requires vehicle manufacturers selling in New Jersey to stamp the vehicle identification number (VIN) directly onto each catalytic converter installed in new vehicles. It directly affects manufacturers by mandating this marking as a standard part of vehicle production for all vehicles sold in the state. The key provision is the requirement to permanently mark catalytic converters with the VIN, which helps law enforcement identify stolen parts. The bill takes effect three months after enactment.
