The bill mandates 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 method for law enforcement and regulatory bodies, thereby facilitating compliance with environmental standards. The bill introduces a new legal definition of "electric vehicle," specifying it as any vehicle powered solely by electricity without an on-board engine or generator, and that does not utilize hydrocarbon fuel for electricity generation. This definition includes plug-in electric vehicles but explicitly excludes plug-in hybrid electric and solar-powered vehicles.

Furthermore, the bill outlines that the Chief Administrator of the MVC will issue these stickers at no cost, which must be displayed prominently for visibility by law enforcement. The stickers will be designed in consultation with the Director of the Division of Highway Traffic Safety, and regulations regarding their size, placement, and other requirements will be adopted by the chief administrator. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the 13th month following its enactment, although preparatory actions for implementation may begin sooner.
