DailyRecord.com: NJ Appeals Court Upholds Kyleigh's Law
New drivers under age 21 still required to have decals on vehicles.
The New Jersey Appeals Court today upheld Kyleigh's Law, saying it is constitutional and new drivers under age 21 must have decals on their cars, according to a report on dailyrecord.com.
The law, named for Kyleigh D'Alessio, who died in a car crash in 2006 at the age of 16 in Long Valley, has been in effect since May 1 of 2010.
Donna Trautmann and Jayneann Struble first challenged Kyleigh's Law on behalf of their teenage sons. A Superior Court judge in Morris County upheld the law as constitutional and not pre-empted by the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act, according to dailyrecord.com.
