Overview
This bill makes driving under the influence (DUI) a more serious crime in New Jersey, specifically for those convicted of a fourth or subsequent offense. Individuals found guilty of this offense will be charged with a crime of the third degree, potentially leading to fines, imprisonment, and a driver’s license suspension of 10 years. The penalty increases to 20 years if the offense occurs near a school or school crossing. The bill also requires offenders to complete alcohol and drug education programs and pay a fee to support these programs.
