A 784 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits historic motor vehicles to be used for pleasure driving one day per week.

This bill allows owners of historic motor vehicles (25+ years old, collector-owned, and unaltered from original design) to use them for limited pleasure driving - up to one day per week - expanding current law that only permitted exhibition and educational use. It redefines "occasional travel" to include non-exhibition, non-educational driving while maintaining the 25-year age requirement and collector status. The change directly affects historic vehicle owners seeking more flexibility for personal use. The bill amends New Jersey's motor vehicle code to permit this specific, limited use without altering the vehicles' historical integrity.
