New Jersey S2164 allows for driver's license suspension for certain offenses and acknowledges the repeal of N.J.S.A.2B:12-31.

New Jersey S2164 provides for the suspension of driver's licenses for certain offenses, including failure to appear in court or default in payment of fines and penalties. The bill acknowledges that N.J.S.A.2B:12-31, which previously allowed municipal courts to suspend licenses for non-driving offenses, was repealed in 2019. The legislation aims to restore the courts' ability to enforce court orders and ensure defendant appearances in municipal court matters. The act includes a six-month grace period for individuals to pay outstanding fines and fees from the effective date.
