Requires Chief Administrator of MVC to conduct wanted person check of all applicants for licenses, permits, and identification cards.
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to conduct a "wanted person check" for all applicants seeking driver's licenses, permits, or identification cards. The check would determine if applicants have outstanding arrest warrants or pending criminal charges by accessing the New Jersey Wanted Person System and New Jersey Criminal Justice Information System. The requirement applies specifically to applicants for probationary or basic driver's licenses, motorcycle licenses, examination permits, special learner's permits, and non-driver identification cards. This policy change would add a new verification step to the MVC's application process to ensure applicants are not wanted by law enforcement.
