A 3162 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Creates exemption from certain MVC fees for prisoners of war.

This bill exempts prisoners of war (POWs), their spouses (if married during captivity), and surviving spouses from New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) registration fees for eligible vehicles. It removes a previous restriction limiting exemptions to one vehicle per applicant, allowing multiple vehicles to qualify. The bill also expands eligibility for "P.O.W." license plates to include spouses who were married to the POW during captivity and surviving spouses who remain unmarried, with no fee charged for these plates. These changes apply to veterans held as POWs in any armed conflict, as certified by New Jersey’s Department of Military and Veterans’ Affairs.
