Establishes young driver program for commercial driver licenses.
This bill requires New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission to create a program helping young drivers (likely under 25) obtain commercial driver licenses (CDLs). The program must assist young drivers in getting CDLs, promote awareness of CDL benefits, and connect participants with trucking industry job opportunities. The Commission must report annually on participation numbers, CDL completions, and employment outcomes under the program. It directly affects young drivers seeking CDLs and the commercial trucking industry recruiting new workers. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage.
