This bill mandates the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to create a program aimed at increasing the number of young drivers who obtain a commercial driver license. The program will involve collaboration with experts from the commercial trucking industry and will focus on assisting young drivers in acquiring their licenses, promoting the benefits of such licenses, and coordinating recruitment efforts for employment opportunities within the industry. Additionally, the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission is granted the authority to engage in other relevant activities to support the program's objectives.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the commission must report on the program's progress in its annual report. This report will include data on young driver participation, the number of licenses obtained, and employment outcomes related to the program over the past year. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
