N.J. Admin. Code § 13:20-46.7
The Division of State Police may order out-of-service any vehicle that is registered or present in this State if the civil penalty imposed pursuant to P.L. 1995, c.157 and this subchapter remains unpaid after the date on which it became due and owing. A vehicle placed out-of-service pursuant to this section shall not be operated until all civil penalties that are due and owing are paid to the Motor Vehicle Commission, or the owner or lessee has made an arrangement, approved by the Chief Administrator, for payment in accordance with a payment schedule. When a vehicle is placed out-of-service, an administrative out-of-service order shall be prepared on a form or forms specified by the Chief Administrator and a copy served upon the operator of the vehicle or upon the owner or lessee of the vehicle. The operator of a vehicle served with an out-of-service order pursuant to this section shall report the issuance of the out-of-service order to the owner and the lessee, if any, of the vehicle within 24 hours. When a vehicle is placed out-of-service pursuant to this section it shall be the responsibility of the owner or lessee of that vehicle to arrange for the prompt removal of that vehicle, by means other than operating the vehicle, and to pay all costs associated therewith. The vehicle shall be removed to a secure storage place where the Division of State Police can readily confirm its non-operation. If the owner or lessee fails to comply, or is otherwise incapable of complying with this section, the Division of State Police shall make such arrangements for the removal of the vehicle to a secure storage place where the Division of State Police can readily confirm its non-operation, with all attendant charges and expenses to be paid by the owner, lessee, or bailee. Upon payment by cashier's check or money order, or an agreement approved by the Chief Administrator to pay in accordance with a payment schedule, or in such other form as may be determined by the Chief Administrator, subject to law or the Rules Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey, of all unpaid civil penalties and attendant storage charges and expenses for a vehicle that has been placed out-of-service, the Chief Administrator shall remove the out-of-service order. Any person who operates, and any owner or lessee who causes or allows to be operated, a vehicle in violation of an out-of-service order prepared and served in accordance with the provisions of this section shall be liable for a civil penalty of $1,500, and, if the vehicle is registered in this State, the Chief Administrator may suspend the registration privileges of the vehicle.
