A 3930 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires DOT and DLPS to implement weigh-in-motion monitoring program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Transportation (DOT) and Division of Law Enforcement (DLPS) to establish a weigh-in-motion monitoring program for commercial vehicles. It directly affects commercial drivers and operators transporting goods on state roads by allowing vehicles to be weighed while moving, without stopping, using certified scales. Key provisions include authorizing the DOT/DLPS to operate approved weighing locations and creating a defense for drivers with valid dispatch papers showing they're traveling between pickup points and scales. The program aims to streamline weight enforcement while maintaining safety standards under existing vehicle weight limits. The bill is pending before the Assembly Transportation Committee as of its January 2026 introduction.
