This bill mandates that the driver's manual in New Jersey must include information about a driver's rights and responsibilities during a police stop. The Chief Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission is tasked with consulting the Attorney General to ensure this information is accurately represented in the manual. Additionally, the bill allows for the distribution of existing copies of the driver's manual before the updated version is printed with the new information.
The act is set to take effect on the first day of the seventh month following its enactment, although the Chief Administrator may take necessary anticipatory administrative actions to implement the provisions of the bill before that date. This initiative aims to enhance drivers' awareness of their rights and responsibilities, promoting safer interactions between drivers and law enforcement.
