New Jersey S486 increases fines for failing to display required information on commercial vehicles.

New Jersey S486 amends existing law to increase fines for commercial vehicles that fail to display required information. The bill raises the fine for a first offense to $250, a second offense to $500, and a third or subsequent offense to $1,000. The current fine is $10. The required information includes the name of the owner, lessee, or lessor, and the municipality of their principal place of business, which must be displayed on the vehicle or a name plate at least three inches high. The fines collected will be used for the repair of improved roads throughout the state.
