This bill amends R.S.39:3-40 to increase penalties for individuals convicted of operating a motor vehicle while their driver's license is suspended due to a third or subsequent DUI offense or refusal to take a chemical test. Specifically, it raises the minimum imprisonment term from 10 days to a range of 30 to 180 days for such violations. Additionally, the bill maintains a fine of $1,000 and includes the revocation of the violator's motor vehicle registration privileges in cases where the violations leading to the suspension are for the same offense.

The bill also introduces new provisions that impose additional penalties for operating a vehicle while under suspension for a third or subsequent DUI or refusal offense. These include a fine of $1,000, a minimum imprisonment term of 30 days, and the revocation of motor vehicle registration privileges. The overall aim of the bill is to enhance the consequences for repeat offenders and deter individuals from driving under the influence or while their license is suspended.
