That legislation was co-sponsored by local Assemblyman Anthony Palumbo, and would have created a new
charge for those who flee serious or fatal accidents while
driving with a suspended license or a

drunk driving or leaving the scene of an accident.
If you are facing DUI
charges, the outcome of your case and the severity of the punishments for
drunk driving you could face will depend on the specific circumstances and whether you have any
prior convictions for DWI / DUI.
