NEW JERSEY More changes have come to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission now that the agency has drawn backlash from lawmakers regarding a new round of site closures.
The changes come as Sen. Declan O Scanlon, R-Monmouth, criticized the Murphy administration following news that the Eatontown Motor Vehicle Commission site will be closed for two weeks after an employee tested positive for COVID-19.
O Scanlon said the Murphy Administration is relying on outdated, unnecessary policies when the Motor Vehicle Commission closes a facility for two weeks or longer after an employee tests positive for COVID.
Subscribe The fact that we are still somehow closing MVC locations for two weeks for quarantining and deep cleaning after one employee tests positive is absolutely outrageous, said O Scanlon. Nowhere is still observing such heavy-handed, unscientific policies . . . not Home Depot, not supermarkets, not car dealerships, not doctors offices, no
10th MVC agency closed by COVID
Updated Mar 16, 2021;
The number of state Motor Vehicle Commission agencies closed by the coronavirus reached 10 Tuesday afternoon.
The Rio Grande Licensing Center closed Tuesday afternoon after an employee tested positive for COVID-19 and is scheduled to reopen on March 29. The employee who tested positive was last in the agency Saturday, March 13, MVC officials said.
The agency, located in Cape May County, had been shut down briefly by a technical problem on March 11.
Drivers who had appointments at the Rio Grade agency will need to reschedule them on the MVC website.
That means roughly 25% of the states 39 agencies are closed.
