NJ A3036

Authorizes the New Jersey Attorney General to order turn-by-turn navigation systems (like GPS apps) to reroute traffic when an "ongoing emergency traffic condition" exists, defined as recurring excessive traffic that materially interferes with emergency response or endangers public safety.

Municipalities may adopt resolutions with supporting documentation requesting the Attorney General investigate whether navigation app routing has created emergency traffic conditions; the Attorney General must respond within 90 days indicating whether an investigation will proceed.

Rerouting directives are limited to 12-month durations, must be reviewed annually, and the Attorney General must notify navigation providers when conditions no longer exist and directives are rescinded.

Navigation system operators who fail to comply with rerouting orders face fines of $1,000 to $5,000 per day, collectible through summary proceedings, with fines paid to affected municipalities or the General Fund depending on how the determination originated.

Requires a report to the Governor and Legislature within 24 months of rule adoption assessing implementation and public safety impact, with recommendations for retention, repeal, or legislative updates.
