New Jersey's Assembly Resolution AR 14 formally opposes New York City's congestion pricing plan, which would charge drivers $9 to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street starting January 5, 2025, with tolls rising to $12 by 2028 and $15 by 2031. The resolution states that New Jersey residents would be directly affected by these tolls without having any input or decision-making power over the plan. It expresses opposition to the policy and directs copies to New York officials, the Federal Highway Administration, and New Jersey lawmakers.
This bill changes New Jersey law to allow (but not require) physicians to report patients aged 16+ with persistent epilepsy or related conditions - such as recurrent seizures, unconsciousness, or motor coordination issues despite treatment - to the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). Currently, physicians must report such cases within 24 hours; this bill makes reporting optional. The MVC Chief Administrator would still receive reports using prescribed forms, and the State Health Commissioner would collaborate on form design. The change affects physicians treating qualifying patients and alters the reporting obligation without modifying MVC's underlying safety standards.
This bill amends "Antwan's Law" (P.L.2019, c.5) to change where fines for speeding violations in specific Burlington City zones on Route 130 go. Currently, fines for these violations are tripled but split between the municipality (for general use/municipal court) and the county (for road maintenance). The bill changes this so all fines collected for violating these speed limits must be paid directly into the local municipality's treasury for law enforcement purposes. It directly affects drivers who exceed the reduced speed limits in the designated areas of Burlington City.
This bill reduces the minimum liability insurance requirement for autocabs in New Jersey from $1.5 million to $200,000 per accident. It directly affects autocab owners and operators, who must now carry this lower coverage amount to legally operate on public streets. The key provision amends Section 1(6) of the existing law and updates Section 48:16-3 to reflect the new $200,000 limit for bodily injury/death and property damage claims. This change applies to all autocab insurance policies issued or renewed on or after the effective date. The bill does not alter other coverage requirements for standard vehicles or commercial motor vehicles.
This bill (A 410) requires the New Jersey Turnpike Authority (NJTA) and South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA) to appear before legislative committees before implementing toll or charge increases - including automatic increases. Authorities must provide detailed explanations of financial justification, public impact, revenue use, and alternatives to avoid hikes. The bill also prohibits NJTA/SJTA from raising tolls or charges by more than 2% over any five-year period. These changes directly affect commuters, businesses, and the public who pay tolls on NJTA/SJTA highways.
This bill repeals a 2.5% surtax known as the "Corporate Transit Fee" that applied to corporations with New Jersey taxable income exceeding $10 million during tax periods starting in 2024-2028. It directly affects large corporations paying the Corporate Business Tax (CBT) in New Jersey, eliminating their requirement to pay this additional fee for future tax periods. The fee, which generated revenue for NJ Transit operations and capital projects starting in 2026, is now removed from law. The repeal takes effect immediately upon enactment, applying to all tax periods beginning after the bill’s passage.
New Jersey's A 180 prohibits the state from charging drivers based on miles traveled. It defines a "mileage-based user fee" as any charge calculated by vehicle miles driven during a set period. The bill also bans state funding for any related programs, studies, or pilot projects. This law takes effect immediately.
This bill revises the mandatory school transportation requirement for preschool through fourth-grade students in New Jersey. It changes the current 1.5-mile distance limit (where school districts must provide bus transportation) to a new, unspecified threshold. The policy directly affects families with young children living beyond the revised distance from their public school. School districts would no longer be required to provide transportation for students living within this new limit, shifting responsibility to families for those living closer. The bill focuses solely on adjusting the mileage threshold for transportation eligibility, without altering costs or other provisions.
Bill A-675 prohibits New Jersey Transit (NJT) from making major rail yard modifications - such as adding tracks, building fuel tanks, or upgrading facilities - near environmentally sensitive areas. It specifically applies to rail yards located within coastal zones, within 1,000 feet of wetlands or tidal water bodies, or where water flows into the Barnegat Bay Estuary. NJT must obtain the Governor’s written authorization after consulting the Department of Environmental Protection and the EPA before proceeding with such changes. This law aims to protect ecological areas by requiring environmental review and approvals before rail yard alterations.
This bill prohibits tourist helicopter operations providing sightseeing tours in specific New Jersey areas (including the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island) at all state-licensed aviation facilities like airports, heliports, and helistops. It directly affects commercial helicopter tour operators offering these sightseeing services. The prohibition excludes flights by federal/military aircraft, state government helicopters, and emergency medical transport. The law takes effect immediately upon enactment.
