MILLVILLE — On Sept. 27, Gov. Jon Corzine signed Assembly bill 3372 into law. That bill requires all vehicles owned by a New Jersey resident to be registered within 60 days.
Fines range from $250-$500 dollars with possible impoundment of the vehicle. Half of the fines would be distributed to the town and one half would be distributed to the county in which the violator was caught.
“There are a limited number of tools that can be utilized by state and local officials to control illegal immigration. This represents a more affective means of controlling illegal immigrants who are illegal drivers.
“While state government can’t control our borders throughout the United States we have the responsibility of using every mechanism at our disposal to control the problem within the borders of the State of New Jersey,” said Assemblyman Jeff Van Drew (D-1st).
“For too long this issue has plagued New Jersey and specifically Cumberland County this legislation may not represent the cure to the problem but certainly does represent a step in the right direction,” said Assemblyman Nelson Albano (D-1st).
