New Jersey A4820 mandates that new motor vehicles sold or leased in the state be equipped with AM radio.
New Jersey A4820 requires that new motor vehicles sold or leased in the state be equipped with AM radio, a critical communication method for receiving real-time public safety information. The bill aims to ensure that this essential communication method remains functional in new vehicles, as AM radio is often available when other methods fail. A violation of this requirement is considered an unlawful practice under the consumer fraud act, with penalties including monetary fines, cease and desist orders, and treble damages. The act will take effect one year after its enactment.
