CURRENT VERSION OF TEXT 

���� Introduced Pending Technical Review by Legislative 
Counsel.

�� 

An Act concerning the idling of motor vehicles and 
supplementing P.L.1954, c.212 (C.26:2C-1 et seq.).

���� Be It 
Enacted by the Senate and General Assembly of 
the State of New Jersey:

���� 1.��� Notwithstanding any law, 
rule, or regulation to the contrary, no person shall be prevented from or 
penalized for causing, suffering, allowing, or permitting the engine of a 
gasoline-fueled motor vehicle to idle on residential property.

���� 2.��� This act shall take 
effect immediately.

STATEMENT

���� This bill would allow a person 
to idle a gasoline-fueled motor vehicle on residential property.

���� Idling is a common method of 
warming up a motor vehicle before driving.� The current Department of 
Environmental Protection regulation concerning motor vehicle idling, 
N.J.A.C.7:27-15.8, prevents a person from idling a gasoline-fueled motor 
vehicle for more than three minutes under most circumstances.� While the 
regulation provides seven exemptions from this prohibition, there is no 
exemption for warming up a car on residential property.� This bill would 
prevent a person from being penalized for warming up a motor vehicle on 
residential property.
