      The Senate Transportation Committee reports favorably and with committee amendments Senate Bill No. 1882.

     The bill also permits the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to adopt temporary rules and regulations as the chief administrator determines to be necessary to effectuate the purposes of the bill, and 180 days thereafter, amend, adopt, or readopt the rules and regulations in accordance with the requirements of the "Administrative Procedure Act.” 

      The committee amended the bill to update the statutory language of a section of the bill that has been amended since the legislation was introduced.
