S 2484 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Clarifies procedures for restoration of driver's license after suspension; authorizes the court to waive imprisonment under certain circumstances.

New Jersey bill S 2484 clarifies procedures for drivers whose licenses were suspended, directly affecting individuals convicted of driving while suspended. The bill allows courts to waive jail time for certain violations if offenders prove they completed their suspension period and paid the required restoration fee (as outlined in P.L.1975, c.180). Key provisions specify that courts must waive imprisonment for first offenses under suspension, provided the person shows proof of fee payment and completed suspension. This change aims to reduce unnecessary incarceration for compliant drivers while maintaining penalties for repeat violations.
