S 3066 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Restricts use of motorized skateboards.

This bill amends New Jersey's vehicle definitions to restrict where motorized skateboards can be used by clarifying what constitutes a "highway" and related terms. It directly affects skateboard operators and local authorities by providing clearer legal boundaries for where these devices are permitted on public roads. The key mechanism involves updating statutory definitions to ensure consistent enforcement of traffic laws regarding motorized personal transportation devices. This change aims to improve road safety by establishing precise language for how motorized skateboards interact with existing traffic regulations.
