Permits idling of motor vehicles on residential property.

This bill (A228) allows residents to idle gasoline-powered vehicles on their own residential property without penalty, directly affecting homeowners who warm up cars before driving. It overrides current state regulations (N.J.A.C. 7:27-15.8) that prohibit idling over three minutes, removing the lack of exemption for residential warming. The key provision states no person may be penalized for idling a vehicle engine on residential property, effective immediately. The bill addresses a specific gap in existing rules, which previously prohibited idling for warming vehicles even on private property.
