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 the necessity of taking 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 under the same conditions.
The bill emphasizes that applicants from both jurisdictions will be exempt from the usual driving tests, streamlining the process for obtaining a license in either location. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
