S 7346: Relates to sanctions for driving while ability impaired while holding a conditional license.
What S 7346 does, verified January 8, 2026
The bill aims to amend the Vehicle and Traffic Law to allow individuals who have been suspended for driving while ability impaired (DWAIP) while holding a conditional license to be issued a conditional license. This conditional license can be issued if the suspension has been in effect for at least thirty days and the individual is eligible to receive it. The new license would not be valid for commercial motor vehicles, and the procedures for its issuance would be prescribed by regulation. The bill takes effect one year after it becomes a law.
