Prohibits MVC from accepting certain documents as proof of applicant's identity for certain documents issued by MVC.
This bill prohibits the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) from accepting certain U.S. federal immigration documents as proof of identity for standard driver's licenses and identification cards. Specifically, it bans documents related to deportation or removal orders issued by DHS or ICE, including release on recognizance or supervision orders. The law applies to all standard licenses and ID cards listed in the bill (basic, motorcycle, learner's permits, probationary, and commercial licenses). It takes immediate effect and directly affects applicants who previously relied on these federal documents for MVC identity verification.
