Requires MVC to check Social Security Administration records and mark deceased individuals in MVC database once per month.
This bill requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to compare its driver and vehicle registration database with the Social Security Administration's death records at least once monthly. If an individual appears in the SSA death records, the MVC must update their database to reflect their death. The bill directly affects deceased individuals' records in the MVC system, ensuring administrative accuracy. It does not change eligibility for benefits or create new requirements for living residents. The measure takes effect immediately upon passage.
