This bill mandates that the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) allow individuals with expired standard basic drivers licenses to renew their licenses without the need to retake the written law knowledge examination or the road test, provided they meet specific criteria. To qualify for this exemption, individuals must present documentation from a qualified medical professional—such as a physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner—indicating that they have a mental or psychological condition that hinders their ability to renew their license in person. Furthermore, the Chief Administrator of the MVC must assess the individual's driving record to confirm that they can safely operate a motor vehicle.

The bill aims to streamline the renewal process for individuals with certain disabilities, ensuring that they are not unduly burdened by additional testing requirements if they can demonstrate their condition and safe driving capability. This legislative change is intended to enhance accessibility for those who may struggle with in-person renewals due to their mental or psychological conditions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
