Restricts brightness of motor vehicle headlamps.
This New Jersey bill limits the brightness of motor vehicle headlamps to a maximum of 2,513 lumens to improve road safety. The law requires the state's Motor Vehicle Commission to refuse registration for any vehicle where a headlamp exceeds this specific light output level. Drivers of vehicles already registered before the law takes effect or those purchasing cars available at dealerships at the time of enactment are exempt from this new restriction. The rule applies to most motor vehicles but does not cover motorcycles, which have separate lighting requirements.
