A 739 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires driver's licenses and identification cards issued to non-citizens to bear distinct color and include statement providing document cannot be used to vote; requires identification to vote.

This bill (A 739) requires New Jersey to issue driver's licenses and ID cards to non-citizens with a distinct color and a clear statement that the document cannot be used for voting. It directly affects non-citizen residents who apply for or hold these licenses. The key provision mandates visual differentiation and a specific disclaimer on non-citizen licenses, while maintaining existing requirements for photo ID during license applications. The bill does not change voting ID rules (the title incorrectly mentions this), and it is currently in committee referral after introduction in January 2026.
