Overview
This bill makes driving under the influence (DUI) a more serious crime in New Jersey for individuals convicted of a fifth or subsequent offense. Those convicted would be charged with a crime of the third degree, facing potential fines and a longer driver’s license suspension (up to 20 years in certain circumstances, such as near schools). The bill also requires individuals convicted of these offenses to participate in alcohol and drug education programs and contribute a fee to support DUI prevention efforts.
