Bill > A01752

This bill modifies New York's vehicle and traffic law to prevent a driver from obtaining a new driver's license if they have been convicted twice of certain serious traffic and criminal offenses that result in physical injury. Specifically, the bill expands the existing prohibition on relicensing to include multiple convictions involving: driving while intoxicated, driving with impaired ability due to drugs or alcohol, and certain penal law sections related to assault (sections 120.03, 120.04, 120.04-a, 125.12, 125.13, and 125.14). The term "physical injury" is defined according to the penal law, which typically means causing physical harm or substantial pain to another person. The bill aims to enhance public safety by preventing repeat offenders who have caused injury through dangerous driving or related criminal actions from regaining their driving privileges. The legislation would take effect immediately upon enactment.
