This bill permits the issuance of a motorcycle endorsement to certain out-of-State military personnel, including their spouses and dependents, who hold a valid New Jersey driver's license. The endorsement can be obtained without the need to return to New Jersey for a written or road test, or to complete another motorcycle safety course. To qualify, applicants must submit a written request, pay the established fee, and provide documentation proving successful completion of an approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Rider Education Course, as well as evidence of their assignment outside the State.
The bill mandates that the Chief Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission issue the motorcycle endorsement by mail upon receipt of the necessary documentation and payment. This legislation aims to streamline the process for military families stationed out-of-State, ensuring they can obtain the necessary motorcycle endorsement without unnecessary travel or additional testing requirements. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the third month following its enactment.
