Section 13:21-9.4 - Suspension continues until restoration; application for restoration

(a) Every suspension of driving privileges in this State pursuant to Title 39 of the Revised Statutes, as amended and supplemented, or any other law of this State providing for the suspension of driving privileges in this State, shall continue and remain in force and effect until those driving privileges are granted or restored by the Chief Administrator.

(b) In the case of suspensions of driving privileges in this State for a fixed period, the person so suspended shall, as a condition precedent to restoration, make application to the Chief Administrator in such form as the Chief Administrator may determine, and pay the license restoration fee specified in 39:3-10a. The Chief Administrator may, upon notice and an opportunity to be heard, deny any application for restoration on any reasonable grounds, including, but not limited to, grounds relating to physical fitness or driving record of the applicant or failure of the applicant to provide proof of satisfaction of other statutory requirements.

(c) For purposes of this section the term "suspension of driving privilege" includes every suspension, revocation, prohibition or refusal of any privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this State.

(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed as requiring the Chief Administrator to restore driving privileges prior to the expiration of a fixed period of suspension or to restore driving privileges otherwise suspended or to restore driving privileges contrary to any provision of law.
