Clarifies procedures for restoration of driver's license after suspension or revocation; concerns waiver of penalties for operating vehicle while license is suspended or revoked under certain circumstances.
This bill amends New Jersey's driver's license suspension penalties (R.S.39:3-40) to clarify how fines and additional license suspensions apply when someone drives with a suspended license. It specifically updates penalty tiers for repeat offenses, including longer license suspensions and higher fines for operating a vehicle while license is suspended, particularly for violations near schools (within 1,000 feet of school property or school crossings). The bill also clarifies penalties for vehicle owners who knowingly let someone with a suspended license drive their vehicle. It directly affects drivers who operate vehicles during license suspensions, with enhanced consequences for repeat offenses and school zone violations. The bill does not create new waiver procedures but refines existing penalty structures.
