The bill, S4834/ A6235, requires cyclists to register any class of electric bicycle with New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission - the Garden State's version of the DMV - and obtain liability insurance for class 2 electric bicycles. The legislation's smooth passage through Trenton drew alarm from cycling advocates, who successfully lobbied against an even more backwards version of the legislation that would have applied its requirements to bikeshare networks.

This covers any types of short-term (less than 90 days at a time) rentals to tourists - that would include renting out on Airbnb or similar online platforms, renting as a gite or rentals organised through other means. Any property listed as a maison secondaire (second home) that is rented out to tourists, even just for a couple of weeks of the year, now needs to be registered with local authorities as a meuble de tourisme.
