Requires MVC to provide certain services at each MVC agency location.
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to provide all vehicle and licensing services - such as driver's license renewals, registration, and vehicle ownership transfers - in person at every MVC agency location. It prohibits the MVC from mandating online service completion or requiring appointments for these services, ensuring walk-in customers can access all services at any location. The bill reverses pandemic-era changes that split agency functions and required appointments, returning to pre-pandemic operations. It directly affects New Jersey residents needing MVC services by eliminating barriers to in-person access. The law takes effect four months after enactment, with the MVC allowed to prepare in advance.
