Bill > S05529

This bill amends the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law to mandate a mandatory 60-day driver's license suspension for any driver who is convicted of two speeding violations within a school zone during an 18-month period. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 510 of the vehicle and traffic law by adding a new provision that requires license suspension when a driver receives two convictions under subdivision (c) of section 1180, which relates to speeding in school zones, within an 18-month timeframe. The purpose of this legislation appears to be enhancing safety around schools by implementing a more stringent penalty for repeated speeding infractions in these sensitive areas. The bill will take effect on the first day of September following its passage into law, giving local authorities and drivers time to prepare for and understand the new licensing consequences.
