TRENTON – A bill sponsored by Senators Donald Norcross (D-Camden/Gloucester) and Jim Beach (D-Camden) that would allow advertising on state roadway patrol vehicles to pay for services through private funding – rather than additional taxes or tolls – has been signed into law.
“Given the pain people are feeling during this slow economic period, it is more important than ever that we find out-of-the-box ways to fund state services that do not rely solely on public money. This new law is an extraordinary step in that direction,” said Senator Norcross. “By permitting private-sector sponsorship of our roadway patrol vehicles, we will create a new revenue stream that will save taxpayers’ money while continuing to pay for the critical services New Jersey drivers depend on to keep themselves and their families safe.”
