S 515 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Increases automobile liability insurance coverage amounts for persons convicted of DWI.

This bill increases the minimum auto liability insurance requirements for people convicted of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) in New Jersey. It raises the coverage amounts from $250,000 (per person injury/death) to $300,000, $500,000 (multiple people) to $600,000, and $100,000 (property damage) to $150,000. These higher limits apply to DWI offenders who must maintain insurance for one year after their license forfeiture period ends. The change directly affects individuals convicted of DWI who are required to carry auto liability insurance following their conviction.
