Qualifies certain disabled veterans for toll rate exemptions and exemptions from motor vehicle registration fees.

This bill (S 970) extends existing motor vehicle registration fee exemptions to cover toll exemptions for certain disabled veterans on New Jersey's toll roads. It amends laws to require the New Jersey Turnpike Authority and South Jersey Transportation Authority to waive tolls for veterans already exempt from registration fees under Section 1 of P.L.1948, c.28. Eligible veterans include those qualifying under specific New Jersey statutes, federal laws (Public Law 663 and 187), World War I veterans with service-connected disabilities, or holders of the Congressional Medal of Honor. The exemption applies to veterans using electronic toll collection systems on toll facilities operated by these authorities. The bill is pending in the Senate Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee as of January 2024.
