New Jersey A5072 allows hearing-impaired drivers to apply for vehicle identification placards.

New Jersey A5072 permits individuals with hearing impairments, identified by a numerical code on their driver’s license, to apply for a corresponding windshield placard from the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. The placard, which is free of charge, bears the international symbol of the deaf and must be displayed on the vehicle in a manner determined by the chief administrator. Importantly, the placard does not grant parking privileges reserved for persons with disabilities unless the applicant is otherwise eligible and has received a separate placard under existing law.
