Authorizes creation of Second Amendment license plates.
New Jersey's S 1706 would allow vehicle owners to apply for special "Second Amendment" license plates displaying a militiaman and the phrase "Protect the Second Amendment." Owners would pay a $50 application fee plus a $10 annual fee, with the collected funds deposited into a dedicated "Second Amendment License Plate Fund." This fund would provide annual appropriations to the Fish and Game Council for state-owned gun range operations. The bill also requires the Motor Vehicle Commission to design the plates in consultation with the Fish and Game Council and mandates that initial program costs be covered by non-public donations (up to $25,000) before implementation.
