A 4292 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides for restricted use driver's license as alternative for license suspension in municipal court.

This bill allows New Jersey municipal courts to issue restricted driving permits instead of full license suspensions for eligible drivers. It applies to people whose licenses are suspended (excluding those suspended for specific violations like certain traffic offenses under R.S.39:4-50), requiring courts to consider financial hardship and repeat offense risk before granting the permit. The permit would only allow driving for work or school commutes during specified hours, require a visible placard on the vehicle, and cost up to $100. It expires when the regular license is restored following the suspension period.
