New Jersey § 39:3-40

§ 39:3-40.

a. Any motor vehicle registration certificate and registration plates shall be revoked

if a person is convicted of violating the provisions of: (1) subsection a. of R.S.39:3-40 for operating a motor vehicle during a period when that violator's driver's license

has been suspended for a violation of R.S.39:4-50 ; or (2) subsection b. or c. of R.S.39:3-40 for operating a motor vehicle during a period when that violator's driver's license

has been suspended within a five-year period . (3) (Deleted by amendment, P.L.2009, c. 201 ) . This revocation of registration certificate and registration plates shall apply to

all passenger automobiles and motorcycles owned or leased by the violator and registered

under the provisions of R.S.39:3-4 and all noncommercial trucks owned or leased by the violator and registered under

the provisions of section 2 of P.L.1968, c. 439 ( C.39:3-8.1 ), including those passenger automobiles, motorcycles and noncommercial trucks registered

or leased jointly in the name of the violator and the other owner of record. b. At the time of conviction, the court shall notify each violator that the person's

passenger automobile, motorcycle, and noncommercial truck registrations are revoked. Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.39:5-35 , the violator shall surrender the registration certificate and registration plates

of all passenger automobiles, motorcycles, and noncommercial truck registrations subject

to revocation under the provisions of this section within 48 hours of the court's

notice. The surrender shall be at a place and in a manner prescribed by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission pursuant to rule and regulation. The court also shall notify the violator that a failure to surrender that vehicle

registration certificate and registration plates shall result in the impoundment of

the vehicle in accordance with the provisions of section 4 of P.L.1995, c. 286 ( C.39:3-40.3 ) and the seizure of said registration certificate and registration plates. The revocation authorized under the provisions of this subsection shall remain in

effect for the period during which the violator's license to operate a motor vehicle

is suspended and shall be enforced so as to prohibit the violator from registering

or leasing any other vehicle, however acquired, during that period. c. If the violator subject to the penalties set forth in subsections a. and b. of

this section for conviction of violating the provisions of R.S.39:3-40 was operating a motor vehicle owned or leased by another person and that other owner

or lessee permitted that operation with knowledge that the violator's driver's license

was suspended, the court shall suspend the person's license to operate a motor vehicle

and revoke the registration certificate and registration plates for that vehicle for

a period of not more than six months. Notwithstanding the provisions of R.S.39:3-35 , the owner or lessee shall surrender the registration certificate and registration

plates of that vehicle within 48 hours of the court's notice of revocation. The surrender shall be at a place and in a manner prescribed by the Chief Administrator of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission pursuant to rule and regulation. The court also shall notify the owner or lessee that a failure to surrender the

revoked registration certificate and registration plates shall result in the impoundment

of the vehicle in accordance with the provisions of section 4 of P.L.1995, c. 286 ( C.39:3-40.3 ) and the seizure of said registration certificate and registration plates. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the court from finding that

owner or lessee guilty of violating R.S.39:3-39 or any other such statute concerning the operation of a motor vehicle by an unlicensed

driver.
