  Section 1. Section 1192 of the vehicle and traffic law is  amended  by

  2-B.  DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED WHILE IN A POSITION OF CARE. NO PERSON
SHALL OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE IN VIOLATION OF SUBDIVISIONS  TWO,  TWO-A,
THREE,  FOUR,  FIVE  OR  SIX  OF THIS SECTION WHILE SUCH PERSON HAS BEEN
ENTRUSTED WITH THE CARE, EITHER BY EFFECT OF LAW OR OTHERWISE,  FOR  ANY

  S  2.  Paragraph  (d) of subdivision 10 of section 1192 of the vehicle

guilty thereafter entered in satisfaction of such charge must include at
least a plea of guilty to the violation of the provisions of subdivision
two, two-a, TWO-B or three of this section, and no other disposition  by
plea  of guilty to any other charge in satisfaction of such charge shall
be authorized; provided, however, if the district attorney, upon review-
ing the available evidence, determines that the charge of a violation of
this section is not warranted, such district attorney  may  consent  and

satisfaction  of  such charge, provided, however, in all such cases, the
court shall set forth upon the record the basis  for  such  disposition.
Provided,  further,  however, that no such plea shall be accepted by the
