S 1495 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Eliminates driver's license suspension for failure to pay parking tickets; requires registration suspension for more than five parking tickets.

S 1495 eliminates driver's license suspensions for unpaid parking tickets or failure to appear in court for parking violations. Instead, it requires suspending a vehicle's registration if someone fails to pay or resolve more than five parking fines or penalties. The bill includes a 30-day grace period after notice, during which drivers can pay or resolve tickets to avoid registration suspension. It also mandates that courts offer payment alternatives (like installments or community service) based on a person's ability to pay. This bill directly affects drivers with multiple unresolved parking violations in New Jersey.
