NJ Governor Signs Snow & Ice Bill into Law


BY :



Thursday, October 22, 2009

On October 20th, Governor Corzine signed (S520/A1718) the Snow and Ice Removal bill into law. The new law requires a "reasonable attempt" (what is reasonable has yet to be defined) be made to remove snow and ice from ALL vehicles including commercial trucks following a snow storm..

While unsuccessful in stopping the bill NJMTA was able to get many amendments to minimize the impact such as:

Only one ticket can be issued to the same vehcile in one day ( fines range from $25 - max. of $75)

All fines are sent to Trenton (keeps locals from raising revenues) for a fund to educate motorists and to issue grants to purchase snow removal equipment.

Whoever controlled the trailer during the snow storm is responsible for snow removal (i.e. port terminal)

If a driver is on the way to a snow removal facility there will be no ticket.

The law will go into effect in one year. To view S520/S1718, go to http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2008/Bills/S1000/520_R4.HTM
