Greetings from Google!

Reporting will not be issued to your home state provided you pay for the 
Connecticut speeding citation.  Ronineconomist’s comments (See below) touch on 
the Nonresident Violator Compact.  This compact was to insure out-of-state 
drivers pay their traffic fines regardless of residence.  If your state is part 
of the compact agreement and you decide not to pay for the citation, then it 
will be reported to your resident state.  In short, pay your Connecticut fine 
and the New Jersey DMV will not have a record of your speeding citation.

Hi!

From the NJ DMV site, http://www.state.nj.us/mvs/:
"Two points will be added to your driving record for traffic violations 
committed in other states."

And from the same site: 
"Interstate Compacts 

New Jersey belongs to two Interstate Compacts. <u>Member states exchange 
information to ensure driver compliance with the law and that they receive 
penalties for violations.</u>

The Nonresident Violator Compact assures nonresident motorists in member 
states they'll receive the same treatment as resident motorists. When drivers 
receive traffic citations in member states, they must fulfill the terms of 
that citation or face the possibility of license suspension in their home 
state until they meet those terms. Nonresident drivers have due process 
protection and cannot be detained out of state. <u>Currently, 44 states and 
the District of Columbia are members of the compact. Alaska, California, 
Michigan, Montana, Oregon and Wisconsin are nonmembers. </u>"

If the states listed abouve are the only ones who don't participate, it's safe 
to assume that Connecticut does indeed report tickets issued in the state to 
New Jersey Motor Vehicle Services.

Hope that helps!  ^_^
