S 129 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Clarifies procedures for restoration of driver's license after suspension; authorizes the court to waive imprisonment under certain circumstances.

This bill (S 129) clarifies procedures for reinstating a driver's license after suspension in New Jersey. It directly affects individuals who drive while their license is suspended for offenses like DUI or reckless driving. The key provision requires courts to automatically waive imprisonment for these violations if the person has completed their suspension period and paid the required restoration fee (as specified in P.L.1975, c.180, §23). This change applies to all cases where imprisonment was previously mandated under the existing law, streamlining the process for license restoration without additional jail time.
