S 2102 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires motorcycle passengers to be 10 years of age or older.

This bill (S 2102) amends New Jersey law to require that all motorcycle passengers be at least 10 years old. It directly affects motorcycle operators and riders under 10 who would otherwise be permitted to ride as passengers. The key provision updates existing law to explicitly state that a passenger must be 10 years or older, with violations subject to fines of $50-$100. The bill does not change helmet or seating requirements but adds this age restriction to passenger safety rules.
