NJ would require operators of low-speed e-bikes to hold a driver’s license, register their bikes with the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), and carry insurance.

Hmmm... While the bill does say that, it also accepts a "motorized bicycle license" to those 15+ after a basic road rules test.

Buuuut then it says:

The operator of a [low-speed electric bicycle or] low-speed electric scooter shall not be required to register the [low-speed electric bicycle or] low-speed electric scooter, furnish proof of insurance, or have a driver's license.

So, yeah. There may be more editing to do...
