New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law a bill that requires riders to have a license to ride all forms of e-bikes on Monday. The new law takes into effect amid growing safety concerns for the increasingly common mode of transportation, especially among children and teenagers. Under the new law, all forms of e-bikes, including bikes with fully operable pedals and also a motor, are classified as motorized bicycles, which requires a license from New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Commission. To obtain a motorized bicycle license, riders must be at least 15 years old, have six points of ID, pass a written and vision test and take a road test after having a permit for at least 20 days, according to the NJ MVC’s website. However, New Jersey residents who have a standard driver’s license can ride e-bikes without a separate motorized bicycle license, according to the website. E-bikes will also need a valid registration and insurance. “It is clear that we are in an age of increasing e-bike use that requires us to take action and update regulations that help prevent tragedies from occurring,” Murphy said. “Making our roads safer for all users has been a key priority for my Administration. I’d like to thank Senate President Scutari for taking the initiative to improve the safe use of e-bikes in New Jersey.” The bill signing event was held on Murphy’s last full day in office. Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill is set to be sworn in on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026.

Elementary school students in New Jersey will start to learn cursive again after Governor Phil Murphy signed a new bill into law. On Monday, Jan. 19, 2026, Gov. Murphy signed S1783/A3865. The bill requires public school districts in New Jersey to incorporate instruction on cursive handwriting into curriculum for students in 3rd through 5th grades. Senator Angela McKnight, Senator Shirley Turner, Assemblywoman Verlina Reynolds-Jackson, Assemblywoman Shanique Speight, and Assemblywoman Rosaura Bagolie all co-sponsored the bill, which applies to the next full school year. According to a spokesperson for Gov. Murphy, New Jersey was one of multiple states impacted by the adoption of the Common Core State Standards in 2010 which omitted handwriting from its curriculum. The spokesperson said New Jersey and several other states are now reversing the decision by requiring cursive instruction in schools, citing benefits for students. “The return to including cursive instruction is especially meaningful as New Jersey celebrates the upcoming 250th anniversary of our country’s founding – giving our students the skills they need to read our nation’s founding documents and complete tasks like opening a bank account or signing a check, in addition to offering cognitive benefits,” Gov. Murphy said. “We owe it to our students to give them a well-rounded education that ensures they have the tools to fully understand our rich history and become competent leaders.”

Two men were arrested in connection to a deadly home invasion in New Jersey that occurred nearly a decade ago. Kevin D’Costa, 45, of Irvington, New Jersey, and Daemen Hodge, 32, of Browns Mills, New Jersey, were both arrested and charged in the 2016 murder of Norman Mosley, 37, in Pemberton Township, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office announced on Jan. 19, 2026. On Sept. 25, 2016, shortly before 10 p.m., Norman Mosley was inside the trailer he lived in with his girlfriend along Alfred Drive in the Hilltop Mobile Village in the Browns Mills section of Pemberton Township. As Mosley and his girlfriend were inside, two masked men broke into the trailer, police said. A struggle ensued, leading to shots being fired, according to investigators. Mosley was then shot twice. His girlfriend took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead about an hour later. Investigators determined he died from gunshot wounds to the head and chest. During the investigation, which lasted for several years, officials eventually identified Kevin D’Costa and Daemen Hodge as suspects in Mosley’s murder. Part of the collected evidence also included gloves that were found on the road. Advancements in forensic technology allowed enhanced DNA testing to be conducted on the gloves and the test results showed DNA from D’Costa, Hodge and Mosley, officials said. While D’Costa and Hodge had already been named as suspects at that point, the DNA evidence bolstered the case and allowed investigators to secure homicide warrants, officials said. D’Costa was served with his warrant in December 2025 inside the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, New Jersey, where he was in custody on unrelated charges. Hodge was arrested on Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, at his girlfriend’s home in Bordentown Township, officials said. He was lodged in the Burlington County Jail pending an appearance in Superior Court. Both D’Costa and Hodge are charged with murder, robbery, conspiracy, unlawful possession of a weapon, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and certain persons not to possess firearms. Officials said the case will be prepared for presentation to a grand jury for a possible indictment. After the murder, Anthony Luyber, who was a lead detective with the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office (BCPO) at the time, spoke with Mosley’s mother, Tamara Burrows, promising her he would continue to vigorously investigate the case until the people responsible for her son’s killing were brought to justice. During the investigation, Burrows repeatedly told Luyber – who is currently the BCPO Chief of Detectives – that she was praying for the investigators in the case. “Nine years after Mosley’s life was taken during the home invasion, her prayers have come true. Mrs. Burrows now has justice for her son,” a BCPO spokesperson wrote. Officials said Mosley’s family never lost hope throughout the investigation that his murder would be solved. They also said the family and their supporters regularly attended candlelight vigils for crime victims, carrying banners and wearing shirts with Mosley’s picture. “We drew strength from the family’s support as we continued to investigate this case,” Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia Bradshaw said. “It was uncharacteristic and greatly appreciated. We will continue our tenacious investigative approach to find those who commit violent crimes and hold them accountable for the carnage they have caused.”
