Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to verify the immigration status of individuals applying for or holding commercial learner’s permits and commercial driver licenses. Specifically, it mandates the use of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program to confirm eligibility under federal law. If an applicant or holder is found to be in the U.S. illegally, the MVC must provide relevant information to Homeland Security. The bill also requires checks for outstanding arrest warrants and fingerprinting/background checks for current permit and license holders.
