This bill mandates the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to collaborate with the Republic of Ireland to establish a drivers license reciprocity agreement. Under this agreement, individuals holding a valid New Jersey drivers license can apply for a Republic of Ireland drivers license without undergoing a driving knowledge or skills test, provided they meet specific requirements outlined in the agreement. Conversely, individuals with a valid Republic of Ireland drivers license can similarly apply for a New Jersey drivers license without the need for these tests, again contingent on meeting the stipulated requirements.
The bill aims to facilitate easier access to drivers licenses for residents of both jurisdictions by eliminating the necessity for additional testing, thereby streamlining the process for those who meet the established criteria. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
