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 the time of 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 concerning highway safety, as well as questions aimed at youthful drivers about safely sharing the roadway with non-motorized vehicles.

Moreover, the bill introduces a point-based identification verification program for applicants and clarifies language regarding safe vehicle operation by replacing "insure" with "ensure." It grants the MVC discretion to refuse permits or licenses based on an applicant's suitability while ensuring that physical defects do not automatically disqualify an applicant unless they are proven to incapacitate their ability to drive safely. The bill also outlines documentation requirements for applicants without a social security number and emphasizes that a standard basic driver's license will not serve as official identification. It includes provisions to protect the confidentiality of personal information obtained during the application process and is set to take effect twelve months after enactment.
