This bill revises penalties for violations of limousine laws in New Jersey, specifically increasing the fines and consequences for repeat offenders. It introduces new penalties for various infractions, including operating a limousine without a municipal license, allowing unlicensed drivers, failing to maintain required insurance, and exceeding passenger capacity. For a third or subsequent offense, violators will face a fine of $7,500, a six-month suspension of their driver's license, and the immediate impoundment of the vehicle involved.

Additionally, the bill establishes similar penalties for operating a limousine without special registration plates or failing to have the vehicle properly inspected. The enforcement of these penalties will be conducted through summary proceedings, and all collected fines will be forwarded as specified in existing law. The bill aims to enhance compliance with limousine regulations and improve safety standards within the industry.
