BILL NUMBER:S4786 TITLE OF BILL: An act to repeal subdivision 1 of section 509 of the vehicle and traffic law relating to the operation of a motor vehicle without a license PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to strengthen the penalties for unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 repeals subdivision one of section 509 of the vehicle and traffic law. Section 2 sets the effective date JUSTIFICATION: This bill is designed to address the iniquitous situation where an individual caught driving without a license (a mere violation) faces lesser penalties than one who's license has been suspended (a misdemeanor). However, the individual that was never licensed has not undergone even the most basic written and road tests required of all licensed drivers. There is at least as much legitimate public safety interest in keeping untrained and untested drivers off our streets, as those who have passed the required exams and had their driving privileges temporarily suspended.
