A 3597 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires certain local and State government entities to issue certain emergency and warning light permits.

This bill changes who issues permits for emergency and warning lights on vehicles in New Jersey. It would require local municipalities, counties, and state offices to issue permits instead of the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), affecting volunteer firefighters, emergency management staff, postal service workers, commercial vehicle operators (tow trucks, service vehicles, snow removal vehicles, security vehicles), and transportation contractors. The bill repeals provisions requiring MVC to issue identification cards for permit holders and shifts the $25 fee for commercial amber warning lights from MVC to local municipalities. It also specifies that emergency lights can only be used during official duties and must meet specific size and placement requirements.
