2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 39 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation › Section 39:3-10j - Findings, declaration concerning commercial driver's licenses.

39:3-10j Findings, declaration concerning commercial driver's licenses.
1. The Legislature finds that:
a. On September 20, 1988, the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation granted the states of this nation the authority to exempt certain drivers from the licensing provisions of the "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986," Pub.L.99-570 (49 U.S.C. s.2701 et seq.).
b. The "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986" requires a commercial driver's license for anyone who operates a vehicle that has a gross weight rating in excess of 26,000 pounds, carries 15 or more passengers or transports hazardous materials.
c. While that act's objectives to regulate and improve the traffic safety of the commercial trucking industry are laudable, it could have an unintended, and largely adverse, impact upon certain non-commercial drivers.
d. Unless the State of New Jersey, in accordance with the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation's directive, exercises its exemption authority, certain operators of firefighting apparatus, operators of emergency or rescue equipment operated for the purposes of a first aid, ambulance or rescue squad or for disaster control, non-civilian operators of military vehicles owned or operated by the United States Department of Defense or the National Guard, and farmers operating farm vehicles will be obligated to secure commercial driver's licenses under that act.
e. There appears to be no significant evidence that the operators of firefighting apparatus, operators of emergency or rescue equipment operated for the purposes of a first aid, ambulance or rescue squad or for disaster control, non-civilian operators of military vehicles owned or operated by the United States Department of Defense or the National Guard, or farmers operating farm vehicles in and about their regular agricultural activities pose or have created any safety hazards on the public highways which would warrant their being licensed under the provisions of the "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986."
The Legislature, therefore, declares that it is altogether fitting and proper to authorize, in accordance with the directives issued by the Secretary of the United States Department of Transportation, that the designated operators of firefighting apparatus, operators of emergency or rescue equipment operated for the purposes of a first aid, ambulance or rescue squad or for disaster control, non-civilian operators of military vehicles owned and operated by the United States Department of Defense or the National Guard, and operators of farm vehicles under certain circumstances be exempted from the licensing requirements set forth in the "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986."

39:3-10k Exemption for operators of certain emergency, other equipment or vehicles.
2. Unless otherwise required by federal law or regulation, and subject to any rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to the provisions of this act, no (1) designated operator of firefighting apparatus, (2) non-civilian operator of a military vehicle owned or operated by the United States Department of Defense or the National Guard, (3) operator of a farm vehicle controlled and operated by a farmer, used to transport agricultural products, farm machinery or farm supplies to or from a farm, operated within 150 miles of a person's farm, and not used in the operation of a common or contract motor carrier, or (4) operator of emergency or rescue equipment operated for the purposes of a first aid, ambulance or rescue squad or for disaster control, shall be subject to the licensing provisions of the "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986," Pub.L.99-570 (49 U.S.C. s.2701 et seq.).
Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, a waiver shall not be granted if the granting of the waiver would place the State in a position of not being in substantial compliance with the requirements of the federal act.

39:3-10K1 Office of Emergency Management members, certain, exemption from federal commercial driver's licensing requirements.
1. a. A member of the State Office of Emergency Management or a county or municipal Office of Emergency Management shall not be subject to the requirements of the commercial licensing provisions of the federal "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act," 49 U.S.C. s.31301 et seq., when operating any commercial motor vehicle or any emergency, rescue, or other motorized apparatus or equipment provided that:
(1) the operation of the vehicle, apparatus, or equipment is necessary to the preservation of life or property or the execution of emergency governmental functions;
(2) the vehicle, apparatus, or equipment operated is equipped with audible and visual signals and is not subject to normal traffic regulations; and
(3) the operation of the vehicle, apparatus, or equipment meets any other requirement set forth in 49 C.F.R. 383.3 (d)(2) or any other federal law, rule, or regulation establishing an exemption from the licensing provisions of the federal "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act," 49 U.S.C. s.31301 et seq.
b. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, an exemption shall not be granted if, to do so, the State would no longer be in a position of substantial compliance with the requirements of the federal "Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act," 49 U.S.C.s.31301 et seq.
c. The Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission may adopt any rules and regulations which may be necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act.

The form and content of a temporary license issued under this section shall be prescribed by the chief administrator; shall bear the words "TEMPORARY LICENSE" in a conspicuous manner; and shall be valid for a period not to exceed 12 calendar months.
If the temporary licensee is under the age of 21 years, the temporary license shall bear the words "UNDER 21" in a conspicuous manner.

2023 New Jersey Revised Statutes › Title 39 - Motor Vehicles and Traffic Regulation › Section 39:3-10o - Findings, declarations relative to issuance of standard basic driver's license, non-driver identification card.

39:3-10o Findings, declarations relative to issuance of standard basic driver's license, non-driver identification card.
3. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. It is the responsibility of the State to ensure that all New Jersey residents that are of driving age are properly trained, tested, and insured in order to make public roads safer.
b. The State could improve roadway safety and automobile insurance coverage by making driver's licenses and permits available to any safe driver who meets all of the requirements relating to the driver's ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, and who provides proof of identity, qualifying age, and New Jersey residency.
c. Fourteen states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico now allow individuals to drive if the individual is a qualified driver and provides proof that establishes age, identity, and state residency.
d. The measures in P.L.2019, c.271 (C.39:3-10o et al.) will protect the standard basic driver license and non-driver identification card as a valid and respected form of identification by requiring multiple documents, as deemed acceptable by the commission, in order to obtain the standard basic driver's license or non-driver identification card.
e. It is therefore the intent of the Legislature to support road safety and privacy protections by making driver's licenses available to any safe driver who meets all requirements relating to the driver's ability to operate a motor vehicle, pursuant to R.S.39:3-10, and who provides proof of identity, qualifying age, and residency pursuant to the provisions of State law.

22. a. A person or entity shall not discriminate against any person based upon the fact that the person applied for, was issued, holds, or presents a standard basic driver's license, standard motorcycle license, standard permit, standard probationary license, or standard identification card.

Nothing in this section shall be construed to alter an employer's rights or obligations under 8 U.S.C. s.1324a regarding obtaining documentation evidencing identity and authorization for employment. Any action that is required by federal or State law or regulation, or by government contract shall not constitute a violation of this section.
b. The provisions of this section shall also apply to the State, any political subdivision of the State, any agency or instrumentality of the State, and to any political subdivision of the State, and the employees, officers, or officials thereof, including law enforcement officers. Employees, officers, or officials, including law enforcement officers shall accept any standard basic driver's license, standard motorcycle license, standard permit, standard probationary license, or standard identification card, as proof of identity, age, and State residency of its holder and shall not discriminate against an individual based upon the fact that the individual applied for, was issued, holds, or presents a standard basic driver's license, standard motorcycle license, standard permit, standard probationary license, or standard identification card.

34. a. The commission shall require the fingerprinting of all applicants for commercial driver's licenses with a hazardous material endorsement, a tank vehicle endorsement or both, at the initial application and upon renewal, in order to determine eligibility for those endorsements. The commission is hereby authorized to exchange fingerprint data with, and receive criminal history record information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Division of State Police, consistent with the provisions of Pub.L.92-544, for use in determining eligibility. The commission shall require any person who, prior to the date of enactment of this act, has been issued a commercial driver's license with a hazardous material endorsement, a tanker vehicle endorsement or both, to undergo a criminal history record background check as a condition to continue to hold, use and renew such an endorsement. No criminal history record check shall be performed without the applicant's written consent. The applicant shall bear the cost for the criminal history record check, including all costs for administering and processing the check. Failure or refusal to submit a disclosure and fingerprints will result in an automatic disqualification.
b. Upon receipt of the criminal history record information, the commission shall notify the applicant, in writing, of the applicant's qualification or disqualification for a commercial driver's license with a hazardous material endorsement, a tank vehicle endorsement or both. If the applicant is disqualified, the basis for the disqualification shall be identified in the written notice to the applicant.
c. The applicant shall have 30 days from the postmarked date of the written notice of disqualification to challenge the accuracy of the criminal history record information. If no challenge is filed or if the determination of the accuracy of the criminal history record information upholds the disqualification, the applicant's disqualification for a commercial driver's license, with a hazardous material endorsement, a tank vehicle endorsement or both will stand.
d. The commission, in a manner not inconsistent with appropriate federal requirements, shall provide by regulation the grounds upon which an applicant may be disqualified.
