Increases prison time for certain persons convicted of a motor vehicle offense when license suspended for DUI.
This bill (S 1914) increases penalties for drivers who operate a vehicle while their license is suspended due to a prior DUI conviction. It specifically targets third or subsequent offenses: for these, the current 10-day jail sentence is replaced with 30 to 180 days in county jail. The bill directly affects individuals convicted of driving with a license suspended for DUI (under sections R.S.39:4-50 or C.39:4-50.4a), particularly repeat offenders within five years. The key change is the significant increase in mandatory jail time for these specific violations, moving from a minimum 10 days to a minimum 30 days.
