                                BILL NUMBER:S771

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the navigation law,
the parks, recreation and historic preservation law and the vehicle
and traffic law,
in relation to operating a vessel while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs

PURPOSE:
To update laws on boating while intoxicated (BWI) and provide a
measure of cohesiveness across the board for intoxicated operation of
any vehicle.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 amends section 49-a of the Navigation Law to add provisions
prohibiting aggravated BWI (.18 blood alcohol content or operating
intoxicated with a child passenger) as well as operating under the
combined influence of drugs and alcohol. Creates motor vehicle driver
license suspensions for BWI convictions as well boating privilege
suspensions for driving while intoxicated (DWI) convictions. Makes
clear that a prior conviction for operating any other vehicle under
the influence shall be considered a prior BWI for purposes of the
enhanced penalty provisions for multiple BWIs.

Section 2 amends section 25.24 of the Parks, Recreation and Historic
Preservation Law (PRHPL) to make clear that a prior conviction for
operating any other vehicle while under the influence shall be
considered a prior snowmobiling while intoxicated (SWI) conviction
for purposes of the enhanced penalty provisions for multiple SWI
convictions.

Section 3 amends section 1193 of the VTL to make clear that a prior
conviction for operating any other vehicle while under the influences
shall be considered a DWI conviction for purposes of the enhanced
penalty provisions for multiple DWI convictions.

Section 4 amends section 510 of the VTL to include driver license
suspensions provisions for BWI convictions.

Section 5 amends section 1193 of the VTL, to provide reference to
boating privilege suspensions provided in the Navigation Law.

Section 6 provides that this act shall take effect 180 days after it
shall have become law.

EXISTING LAW:
Currently, Navigation Law section 49-a is not in parity with VTL
section 1192. It does not include provisions for aggravated
intoxicated operation and does not include a provision for operating
under the combined influence of drugs and alcohol. Additionally, it
does not connect boating privilege suspensions with the intoxicated
operation of other vehicles; nor do the PRHPL or VTL provide for this
linkage presently.


JUSTIFICATION:
Current statistics show that one in every five boating accidents
involve the use of alcohol. This bill seeks to make clear that
operation of any vehicle while intoxicated is a serious offense. To
that end, this bill updates provisions of the Navigation Law
(includes aggravated BWI -.18 BAC or operating with a child
passenger) and links the penalties for multiple intoxicated operation
convictions across all types of vehicles" Thus, a prior DWI or
snowmobiling while intoxicated conviction would be considered a prior
BWI for the purposes of Navigation Law provisions punishing multiple
BWI offenders; the same would be true of a DWI offender with a prior
BWI, and so on, This linkage is meant to assert that the privilege to
operate any vehicle in New York State is contingent upon an
operator's ability to demonstrate his or her responsibility to
operate sober, and that in failing to do so, an individual is
jeopardizing his or her privilege to operate any vehicle.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2012: Rules Committee (S.7827/A.10804)

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
180 days.
