"Daniel Kearney's Law"; establishes criminal penalties for driving in violation of probationary driver's license restrictions in certain circumstances.

Daniel Kearney's Law (A5066) creates criminal penalties for drivers with probationary licenses who cause death or injury while violating specific restrictions. It makes vehicular homicide a second-degree crime when a driver under 21 with a probationary license violates restrictions (such as having more than one passenger or driving between 11:01 pm and 5:00 am) and causes a fatal accident. For injuries, it classifies such driving as assault by auto, making it a fourth-degree crime for bodily injury or third-degree for serious bodily injury near schools. The law is named after Daniel Kearney, a 19-year-old who died in 2021 when a driver with a probationary license had two passengers. This legislation targets specific violations affecting young drivers with probationary licenses.
