Zero Tolerance Law

New York State’s New York Zero Tolerance Law applies to those under the age of 21 who operate a motor vehicle with an alcohol level of .02% to .07%.  This involves an administrative, not a criminal proceeding.  If after the hearing it is determined that you operated a motor vehicle with an alcohol level of .02% to .07% the hearing officer will suspend your license for at least 6 months. You will also be required to pay a $125 civil penalty and an additional $100 fee in order to have your license reinstated.

Generally, if you are charged criminally with either driving while intoxicated or driving while impaired due to alcohol, you will not be charge under New York’s Zero Tolerance Law, Likewise, if you are charged under the Zero Tolerance Law, you will not be prosecuted criminally for driving while intoxicated or driving while impaired due to alcohol.
