A 5722 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes certain county fire coordinators to display emergency warning lights on vehicles.

This bill authorizes county fire coordinators and deputy county fire coordinators (as defined in state law) to display red emergency warning lights and sirens on their vehicles, aligning their privileges with those currently granted to volunteer fire company chiefs. To operate these lights, coordinators must obtain a specific identification card from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission - issued after county officials approve the request - and carry it while using the lights. The bill does not change traffic laws; coordinators must still obey all traffic regulations and drive safely, just as other emergency personnel do when using warning lights.
