S 1688 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts public institutions of higher education from motor vehicle registration fee.

This bill exempts public institutions of higher education (like state colleges, universities, and county colleges) from paying motor vehicle registration fees for vehicles not used for personal pleasure or commercial hire. It adds these institutions to an existing list of exempt entities, such as government agencies, hospitals, and volunteer emergency services, under New Jersey law. The exemption applies specifically to vehicles used for institutional purposes, not for general personal or business use. This change aligns public colleges and universities with other public entities already covered by the registration fee exemption.
