S 2634 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Concerns issuance of standard basic driver's licenses to individuals with certain disabilities after expiration of prior license.

This bill allows New Jersey residents with an expired standard basic driver's license to renew it without retaking the written test or road test if they have a mental or psychological condition preventing in-person renewal. To qualify, they must provide documentation from a licensed physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner (in New Jersey or bordering states) confirming the condition. The Motor Vehicle Commission's Chief Administrator must also verify the person can drive safely based on their driving history. It directly affects individuals with qualifying mental/psychological conditions who cannot visit license offices in person.
