A 3751 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits use of license plate flipping device; increases penalty for displaying fictitious registration plate number in certain circumstances.

This bill prohibits the use of license plate flipping devices that allow drivers to manually or electronically change their vehicle's registration plate to display a different number. It increases penalties for displaying fictitious license plate numbers: up to $750 or 60 days in jail for standard violations, up to $1,000 or 60 days in residential districts or school zones, and up to $1,500 or 90 days if committed during or to aid in a crime. The law directly affects drivers who use these devices to evade tolls, avoid traffic camera identification, or engage in other prohibited activities. The bill amends New Jersey's vehicle registration laws to clarify the definition of license plate flipping devices and strengthen enforcement against this practice.
