The bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to issue special windshield stickers for electric vehicles, exempting them from emission inspections. This initiative aims to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles by providing a clear identification system that differentiates them from traditional vehicles that must undergo regular emissions testing. The bill introduces new legal language defining "electric vehicle" as any vehicle powered solely by electricity without an on-board engine or generator, explicitly including plug-in electric vehicles while excluding plug-in hybrid electric and solar-powered vehicles.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Chief Administrator of the MVC issue these stickers for electric vehicles owned or leased and registered in the state, ensuring they are clearly visible to law enforcement. The stickers will be designed in consultation with the Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety and will be issued at no cost. The bill also stipulates that the stickers must be returned to the MVC within 30 days of the end of the vehicle's ownership or lease, and it grants the Chief Administrator the authority to adopt regulations regarding the stickers' size, placement, and other requirements. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the 13th month following its enactment, with provisions for earlier implementation.
