New Regulations in NJ & NV
Recently, New Jersey and Nevada both passed legislation regulating GPS and starter-interrupt devices. In both states, the laws go into effect July 1, 2017.
PassTime, along with its industry partners TSPA and NIADA, were heavily involved in lobbying against the bills in both states.
In response, PassTime has created new state-specific customer disclosures for New Jersey and Nevada which will be available by the effective date of the law.
