The bill amends R.S.39:3-10 to enhance the requirements and processes for issuing and renewing driver's licenses in New Jersey. It mandates that the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) provide applicants with a summary of motor vehicle and traffic safety laws or regulations that have been enacted or substantially amended in the state within the previous four years at each driver's license renewal. Additionally, the bill expands the driver's license examination by 20 percent, incorporating new questions related to alcohol and drug use, carbon monoxide poisoning, and the "STOP for Nikhil Safety Pledge," developed in collaboration with the Department of Health.

The bill also includes several insertions and deletions to clarify the language and requirements for obtaining a driver's license. For example, it replaces "insure" with "ensure" regarding safe vehicle operation and specifies that the MVC may refuse to grant a permit or license to individuals deemed unfit to drive. It emphasizes the importance of understanding traffic laws, particularly for youthful drivers, and ensures the examination is available in multiple languages. Furthermore, it establishes a point-based identification verification program for applicants, outlines necessary documentation for those without a social security number, and protects the confidentiality of personal information obtained during the licensing process. The bill is set to take effect twelve months after its enactment.
