S 1618 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Clarifies child support obligation notice and certification requirements for applicants for State licenses.

This bill (S 1618) requires applicants for New Jersey state licenses (such as driver's licenses or professional permits) to complete a separate certification form confirming their child support status. Applicants must certify they have no outstanding child support arrears exceeding six months' payments, have provided court-ordered health coverage, or are not subject to related warrants. Licenses cannot be issued, renewed, or reinstated if applicants fail to meet these requirements or provide false information, with consequences including immediate license suspension. The bill clarifies existing law by mandating this separate certification process and providing applicants with notice of their right to a hearing before license suspension.
