Increases prison time for those convicted of motor vehicle offenses with a suspended license for DUI.
New Jersey A2785 increases the prison time for individuals convicted of motor vehicle offenses while their driver's license is suspended for a third or subsequent DUI offense or refusal to take a chemical test. The bill imposes a fine of $1,000, imprisonment for not less than 30 days or more than 180 days, and revocation of the violator's motor vehicle registration privilege. The penalties escalate with each subsequent offense, with additional prison time and fines. The bill aims to deter repeat offenses by those with suspended licenses due to DUI or chemical test refusal.
