This bill mandates that the driver's manual in New Jersey must include information about a driver's rights and responsibilities during a police stop. The Chief Administrator of the Motor Vehicle Commission is tasked with consulting the Attorney General to ensure this information is accurately represented in the manual. Additionally, the bill allows the Chief Administrator to distribute any remaining copies of the existing driver's manual before reprinting it with the new content.
The bill also includes several other provisions aimed at enhancing driver education, such as information on the dangers of failing to comply with traffic laws, the importance of sharing the roadway safely with non-motorized vehicles, and the procedures for organ donation. The Chief Administrator is required to ensure that the manual is accessible in multiple languages and is updated periodically to reflect current laws and safety practices. The act is set to take effect seven months after its enactment, with provisions for anticipatory administrative actions to facilitate its implementation.
