Provides for immediate driver's license suspension under certain circumstances.
This bill mandates immediate driver's license suspension for New Jersey drivers who commit specific traffic violations resulting in death or serious bodily injury, changing current law from discretionary to mandatory suspension. The law requires immediate suspension for violations including speeding over 20 mph above the limit, drunk driving, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving while violating conditions of a provisional or learner's permit. Affected drivers receive notice of proposed suspension with a right to a preliminary hearing within 15 days and a final hearing within 45 days. The suspension remains in effect until a final agency decision is made, though a hearing can be requested to challenge it.
