STATEMENT TO

 

SENATE, No. 3424

 

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

 

DATED:  JANUARY 12, 2023

 

      The Senate Transportation Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 3424.

      As reported, this bill authorizes the surviving spouse or other family member of a decedent to operate the decedent’s motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State under the decedent’s registration certificate until the expiration of that registration certificate. New Jersey law currently provides a surviving spouse or other family member 30 days to operate a vehicle under a decedent’s registration certificate.

      As reported, Senate Bill No. 3424 is identical to Assembly Bill No. 1550, which was also reported by the committee on this date.
