S 7613 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to certain criminal penalties for driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs

This bill modifies certain criminal penalties for driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, making rehabilitation programs more mandatory. It removes the "good cause" waiver for completing an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program when a defendant pleads guilty to a lesser impaired driving charge. Additionally, the bill mandates that individuals convicted of a first-time driving while ability impaired (DWAI) offense must complete such a rehabilitation program. These provisions directly affect individuals charged with or convicted of impaired driving offenses.
