Increases prison time for certain persons convicted of a motor vehicle offense when license suspended for DUI.
This bill increases prison sentences for drivers convicted of operating a vehicle while their license is suspended due to a third or subsequent DUI offense or refusal to take a breathalyzer test. Under current law, a third or subsequent offense carries a 10-day jail term, but this bill raises it to 30-180 days. The change specifically applies when the license suspension resulted from a DUI conviction or refusal to submit to testing under New Jersey law. It also maintains a $1,000 fine and revocation of vehicle registration privileges for these violations. The bill targets repeat offenders who drive despite having their license suspended for serious alcohol-related offenses.
