Imposes restrictions on vehicle idling.
This bill restricts vehicle idling in New Jersey, limiting diesel-powered motor vehicles to no more than two consecutive minutes of idling when not in motion (with specific exceptions like passenger loading or extreme cold). It also applies a similar two-minute limit to gasoline-powered vehicles, excluding electric vehicles. Key exceptions include emergency vehicles, traffic congestion, necessary mechanical operations (e.g., cargo temperature control), and passenger loading for buses (up to 15 minutes per hour). Violations may result in penalties under existing law, but the bill does not override local or federal regulations.
