| Description | Bicyclists may have to get in line at the local Motor Vehicle Commission office, if a proposed bill becomes law.
The bill would require people to register their bicycles with the MVC or pay a fine of up to $100. Children younger than 15 could rely on their parents or guardians to register the bike for them.
In exchange, the state would provide license plates for bicyclists that would have to be displayed while using any public road or land in New Jersey. While the registrations would be good for two years, the bill said the state could could charge fees of as much as $10 per year.
People who falsify the registration would face fourth-degree charges, which in New Jersey can lead to up to 18 months in prison and a $10,000 fine. |
