This bill allows the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) to appoint licensed examiners from drivers schools to conduct the road tests necessary for obtaining a driver's license. Upon completion of the road test, the examiner must provide the applicant with documentation certifying whether they passed or failed. If an applicant successfully completes the road test, they must present this documentation, along with other required documents, to an MVC agency or regional service center to obtain a probationary driver's license. Conversely, if an applicant fails the road test, they must wait 14 days before retaking it.
Additionally, the bill mandates that the Chief Administrator of the MVC establish rules for the operation of drivers schools and the standards for conducting road tests by licensed examiners within 30 days of the bill's implementation. These temporary rules will remain in effect for up to one year, after which any further regulations must comply with the Administrative Procedure Act. The bill aims to streamline the process of obtaining a driver's license by utilizing licensed drivers school examiners for road tests.
