Provides for immediate driver's license suspension under certain circumstances.
This bill requires immediate driver's license suspension notices for drivers who cause a death through specific traffic violations: speeding over 20 mph (R.S.39:4-98), reckless driving (R.S.39:4-50), drunk driving (R.S.39:4-96), or hit-and-run (R.S.39:4-129). It mandates that the director issue a notice within 10 days, allowing the driver to request a hearing to contest the suspension before it takes effect. The suspension remains in place pending a final hearing, which must occur within 45 days of a preliminary hearing. This directly affects drivers convicted of these specific fatal traffic offenses in New Jersey.
