S1503-2011 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S1503

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the vehicle and traffic law, in relation to the number of prior
suspensions needed to qualify for aggravated unlicensed operation in the
first degree and repealing subparagraph (iv) of paragraph (a) of
subdivision 2 of section 511 of such law relating thereto

PURPOSE: This bill decreases the number of prior
suspensions needed to
qualify for aggravated unlicensed operation in the first degree from
ten prior suspensions to five prior suspensions.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 511 (3)(a) of the
Vehicle and Traffic
Law, which is an element of aggravated unlicensed operation in the
first degree, is amended to require five or more suspensions for
failure to answer, appear, or pay a fine rather than, ten or more
separate suspensions.

JUSTIFICATION: Under this legislation a person may be
prosecuted for
aggravated unlicensed operation in the first degree when such person
has five or more suspensions for failure to answer, appear, or pay a
fine. Under current law the person must have had ten such suspensions
to be prosecuted for aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor
vehicle in the first degree. The dangers posed by unlicensed drivers
to pedestrians and other motorists in New York State are well
documented. Numerous deaths have been caused by these drivers.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: 2002-2008: Passed Senate.
2009-10: Senate
Transportation. 2011-12: Passed Senate.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the first day of
November next succeeding the date on which it shall have become law.
