Did you know it is illegal to drive a horse-drawn carriage in New Jersey without sleigh bells? Or that New Jersey’s “poor” are not allowed to travel between the counties?

One New Jersey lawmaker is introducing a bill to remove some of the state’s oldest laws.

Republican Assemblyman Ron Dancer is sponsoring two bills that would remove “antiquated sections of state law.”

“It’s like cleaning out your basement. You find some things that have outlived their usefulness and it’s time to let them go,” Dancer said in a statement.

Dancer’s bills would remove a statute requiring sleigh bells to be attached to horse-drawn sleighs on highways, rescinds two provisions from 1931 prohibiting the transportation of “any poor person” between counties, and also abolishes a World War II-era statute legally defining the words “present war” as the military conflicts with Japan, Germany and Italy.
