Overview: New Jersey introduced SAN-supported legislation (S. 2565) to allow the MVC to issue a newly-created classic license plate to be available for display on all vehicles, that will resemble the license plates issued between 1979-1991. The plates would cost an additional $50 initially and a subsequent annual $10 fee. The bills require a minimum of 500 interested applicants before the classic plates will be produced. A companion bill (A. 212) was introduced earlier this year and is currently pending before the Assembly Transportation and Independent Authorities Committee. S. 2565 currently awaits consideration in the Senate Transportation Committee.
