New Jersey S1545 makes a fifth or subsequent drunk driving offense a crime of the third degree, punishable by up to $15,000 in fines, three to five years in prison, or both. The bill also suspends the offender's driver's license for 10 years, and if the violation occurs in a school zone or near a school crosswalk, the suspension extends to 20 years.
