Governor Cuomo announced that individuals who drive drunk with a conditional license would now face a felony, which is the same penalty for those who drive drunk with a revoked license. previously, driving drunk with a conditional license was only a traffic infraction. Conditional licenses are issued to drivers who lose their license for drunk driving but have enrolled in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program run by the DMV & may only be used for driving to and from essential destinations such as work, school, and medical appointments. Also, several provisions that strengthen Leandra’s Law are now in effect, specifically those that deal with the required installation of an ignition interlock device on vehicles owned, or operated, by a person convicted DWI, or other alcohol-related offenses, details are available at www.governor.ny.gov.
