This bill amends existing law to allow physicians to report patients aged 16 and older who are experiencing recurrent convulsive seizures, periods of unconsciousness, or loss of motor coordination due to conditions like epilepsy to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC). The key change is that physicians are no longer mandated to make this report within 24 hours of determining the patient's condition; instead, they are given the discretion to report as they see fit.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, in consultation with the State Commissioner of Health, will be responsible for prescribing and providing the necessary forms for these reports. This change aims to streamline the reporting process while still ensuring that the MVC is informed about patients who may pose a risk while driving due to their medical conditions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
