This bill allows individuals who have a driver's license indicating hearing impairment to apply for a windshield placard from the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. The placard will feature the international symbol of the deaf and must be displayed on the vehicle in a manner determined by the chief administrator. Importantly, there will be no fee for obtaining this placard. However, the bill specifies that individuals using the placard will not be granted parking privileges reserved for persons with disabilities unless they are otherwise eligible and possess the appropriate placard or license plate.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that no citations or penalties will be imposed for operating a vehicle with a valid placard, provided it is displayed correctly as per the chief administrator's guidelines. This legislation aims to enhance accessibility for hearing-impaired individuals while ensuring that parking regulations for persons with disabilities remain intact. The act is set to take effect on the first day of the thirteenth month following its enactment, allowing for necessary administrative preparations.
