Jersey Autoists Seek Reciprocity for Visiting Motorists
New Jersey motorists push for reciprocity law allowing out of state drivers to operate in the state for a limited period without registration or power of attorney, backed by the Joint Legislative Committee of Automobilists of New Jersey. A similar drive faced a Senate deferral last year by a single vote, with broad support from major motorist groups. The effort aims to unify advocacy, secure passage, and end press opposition to visiting motorist privileges, hoping to join an automobile union of states.
