New Jersey § 39:3-54

§ 39:3-54.

An authorized employee of a public utility company who, as part of the official duties

of a public utility employee, is required to use a motor vehicle owned or leased by

him or a member of his family in the performance of his duties may apply for and be

issued a permit by the chief administrator authorizing the display on that motor vehicle

of an amber warning light that is provided by the public utility company. The permit for the amber warning light shall be in the possession of the public

utility employee while the light is displayed on the motor vehicle. The chief administrator may cancel, suspend, or revoke a permit issued pursuant

to this act 1 whenever the conditions for its issuance no longer exist or for any other reasonable

grounds. The chief administrator shall collect a $25 fee for the initial issuance and for

each subsequent renewal of the permit for each vehicle for which the applicant seeks

authorization to use an amber warning light. The fees collected pursuant to this section shall be considered revenue of the commission

and shall not be subject to the calculation of proportional revenue remitted to the

commission pursuant to section 105 of P.L.2003, c. 13 ( C.39:2A-36 ). The amber warning light may be operated for the protection of the public and the public

utility employee only while the motor vehicle is being used on a public highway by

the authorized public utility employee in the performance of his official duties as

a public utility employee. The amber warning lights authorized under the provisions of this act shall be temporarily

attached, removable lights of the flashing or revolving type, not more than 7 1 / 2 inches in diameter, and shall be controlled by a switch installed inside the vehicle. While in operation, the amber warning light shall be conspicuously displayed on the

roof of the motor vehicle. Nothing herein shall be construed to grant any person displaying and operating an

amber warning light pursuant to the provisions of this act any privileges or exemptions

denied to the drivers of other motor vehicles and all such persons shall drive with

due regard for the safety of all persons and shall obey the traffic laws of this State. 1
