Overview
This bill amends New Jersey law to increase the number of motor vehicle penalty points required to incur surcharges from six to ten. Currently, drivers with six or more points within a 36-month period are subject to a $150 surcharge plus $25 for each additional point. This change aims to reduce the number of driver’s license suspensions due to unpaid surcharges. The bill also addresses the collection and distribution of surcharges, including provisions for credit card payments and the potential use of a ‘set-off’ program.
