This bill authorizes the issuance of accessory license plates for passenger automobiles equipped with rear-mounted vehicle attachments, such as bicycle racks or cargo carriers, that obstruct the visibility of the standard rear license plate. The accessory license plates will display the same registration number and markings as the original rear license plate and will be clearly marked for "Accessory Use Only." The Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is tasked with issuing these plates upon application from the registered owner, who must provide a one-time fee and proof of valid registration. The bill also outlines the conditions under which the accessory license plate must be returned, such as when the vehicle's registration expires or the vehicle is sold.

Additionally, the bill establishes penalties for misuse of the accessory license plates, including fines ranging from $250 to $500 for each offense, and allows the commission to revoke the plates and deny future issuance in cases of misuse. The intent of the legislation is to alleviate the inconvenience and safety issues related to frequently removing and reattaching standard license plates, thereby ensuring compliance with motor vehicle laws and reducing the likelihood of traffic stops or citations due to obstructed license plates.
