Gov. Phil Murphy has signed two new laws designed to cut down on toll cheats in New Jersey.
One sets up uniform enforcement and an appeals process for repeat offenders and another tightens security of temporary tags and stiffens penalties for fakes sold by dealers. Murphy signed both laws Tuesday.
The toll measure (A5799) allows the New Jersey Department of Transportation to work with the state Motor Vehicle Commission to suspend the vehicle registrations of chronic violator. Passed 33-0 by the state Senate last week, part of the law’s goal is to stem the loss of revenue caused by repeat offenders, which cost New Jersey toll authorities $117 million in 2022.
