Requires MVC to place designation on motor vehicle's registration information indicating registrant is deaf or hard of hearing.

This bill (A4464) requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to add a discreet designation to a vehicle registration for owners who are deaf or hard of hearing. To qualify, applicants must provide medical verification of hearing loss (a pure tone average of 41 dB or greater at specific frequencies) from an ENT or certified audiologist. The designation - using an international symbol or numerical code - will only appear when law enforcement accesses license plate data through the MVC’s secure law enforcement system, alerting officers to the driver’s hearing status during interactions. It directly affects New Jersey residents with significant hearing loss who register vehicles, aiming to improve communication during police stops.
