New Jersey has recently passed a law that will become effective sometime in June 2011.  The law is conceived to create a criminal violation for driving on the revoked list where the underlying cause of revocation was either a drunk driving conviction or a refusal conviction.

Specifically, the first section of the law states that if a defendant has been convicted of two driving while revoked offenses during the same term of license suspension created by the drunk driving or refusal offense, it will be a crime of the fourth degree.
 
The second component of the law allows for a fourth degree conviction if the defendant is operating a vehicle while on the revoked list where the underlying cause of revocation was a second drunk driving or refusal conviction.

A mandatory jail term of not less than 180 will be imposed, where the defendant will not be eligible for parole if he/she violates any of these two sections of the law.
