New law delays loss of license over parking fines in New Jersey
A new law signed by Gov. Chris Christie Thursday will give drivers a bit of a reprieve from losing their license because of parking violations.
The law, which was approved by lawmakers in March, creates a 30-day delay between when someone is notified they have failed to pay a parking fine and when they lose their license.
Previously, the state Motor Vehicle Commission was allowed to suspend a driver's license or registration as soon as it's notified of a missed fine or notice to appear in court.
