WILLIAM H. GINDIN, Bankruptcy Judge.
This matter is before the court on a notice of motion for summary judgment brought by the State of New Jersey, Division of Motor Vehicles, to determine the dischargeability of an insurance surcharge. The New Jersey Merit Rating Plan insurance surcharge, N.J.S.A. 17:29A-35(b)(2), is levied as a result of a conviction for driving while intoxicated, and provides for payments of not less than $1,000.00 annually for three years to be added to an individual’s automobile insurance premium. This is a condition precedent to holding a valid New Jersey drivers license.
