STATEMENT
This bill prohibits the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission from imposing duplicate identification card fees and replacement driver's license fees, including the digitized picture fee, if a person requests the duplicate identification card or replacement license solely for the purpose of reflecting that the person has become an organ donor. Currently, the cost of having a duplicate identification card or replacement license issued is $11, including the digitized picture fee.
