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 mandates the revocation of the violator's motor vehicle registration privileges in cases where the suspension is related to the same offense.

The bill also introduces new provisions that impose additional penalties for violations occurring in specific circumstances, such as operating a vehicle on or near school property. These changes aim to enhance the consequences for repeat offenders and deter individuals from driving under suspension due to serious offenses like DUI. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen the legal framework surrounding motor vehicle offenses related to DUI and enhance public safety.
