resulting from anatomical, psychological, physiological, or neurological
conditions which prevents the normal exercise of any bodily or mental functions
or is demonstrable, medically or psychologically, by accepted clinical or
laboratory diagnostic techniques.

���� b.��� For purposes of this
section, �vehicle and licensing services� shall include, but not be limited to:

���� (1) providing a change of
address; and

���� (2) obtaining the issuance or
renewal of:

���� (a) basic driver�s licenses;

���� (b) examination permits;

���� (c) special learner�s permits;

���� (d) probationary driver�s
licenses;

���� (e) identification cards;

���� (f) registration certificates;

���� (g) motor vehicle certificates
of ownership, including transfers of ownership;

���� (h) motor vehicle license
plates, including wheelchair symbol license plates;

���� (i) person with a disability
identification cards; and

���� (j) person with a disability
placards.

���� c.���� Notwithstanding any
law, rule, or regulation to the contrary, the New Jersey Motor Vehicle
Commission shall provide in-person vehicle and licensing services at each
commission agency location for any person who is 65 years of age or older and
any person with a disability.

���� 2.� This act shall take effect
on the first day of the fourth month after enactment, but the New Jersey Motor
Vehicle Commission may take anticipatory actions necessary to implement the
provisions of this act.

STATEMENT

���� This bill requires the New
Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (commission) to provide in-person vehicle and
licensing services at each commission agency location for senior citizens and
persons with disabilities.

���� Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
the commission designated each commission agency location as either a licensing
center or vehicle center and required certain services to be completed online.�
The commission continues to operate in this manner, which places a great burden
on seniors and persons with disabilities.
