STATEMENT TO

SENATE, No. 4159

STATE OF NEW JERSEY

DATED:  DECEMBER 4, 2025

      The Senate Transportation Committee reports favorably Senate Bill No. 4159.

      As reported, this bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (commission) to allow a person with an expired standard basic driver’s license to renew the person’s standard basic driver’s license without being required to re-take the written examination or the road test in certain circumstances. 

      Specifically, under the bill, to be eligible for this license renewal process, the person is required to produce medical documentation of a mental or a psychological condition that interferes with the person’s ability to renew the person’s license in person at a commission agency location.  The bill further requires the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, as a condition of the license renewal, to determine that the person can safely operate a motor vehicle based on the person’s driving record.
