[Adopted 9-9-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-11]
A. 
Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey statute or by rules and regulations duly promulgated by the State Director or Alcoholic Beverage Control, any person convicted of a violation of a provision of this chapter or any amendment hereto, with the exception of § 117-11, hereto shall be subject to a fine of not more than $500.
B. 
Any person convicted of a violation of § 117-11 or any amendment hereto shall be subject to:
(1) 
In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A. 40:48-1.2, be punished by a fine of $250 for a first offense and $350 for any subsequent offense.
(2) 
In addition to the fine authorized for this offense, the court may suspend or postpone for six months the driving privileges of the defendant. Upon the conviction of any person and the suspension or postponement of that person's driver's license, the court shall forward a report to the Division of Motor Vehicles stating the first and last day of the suspension or postponement period imposed by the court pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-1.2. If a person at the time of the imposition of a sentence is less than 17 years of age, the period of license postponement, including a suspension or postponement of the privilege of operating a motorized bicycle, shall commence on the day the sentence is imposed and shall run for a period of six months after the person reaches the age of 17 years.
(3) 
If a person at the time of the imposition of a sentence has a valid driver's license issued by the state, the court shall immediately collect the license and forward it to the Division of Motor Vehicles along with the report. If, for any reason, the license cannot be collected, the court shall include in the report the complete name, address, date of birth, eye color and the sex of the person, as well as the first and last date of the license suspension period imposed by the court.
(4) 
The court shall inform the person orally and in writing that if the person is convicted of operating a motor vehicle during the period of license suspension or postponement, the person shall be subject to the penalties set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:3-40. A person shall be required to acknowledge receipt of written notice in writing. Failure to receive a written notice shall not be a defense to a subsequent charge of a violation of N.J.S.A. 39:3-40.
(5) 
If a person convicted under this article is not a New Jersey resident, the court shall suspend or postpone, as appropriate, the nonresidential driving privilege of the person based on the age of the person and submit it to the Division of Motor Vehicles on the required report. The court shall not collect the license of a nonresident convicted under this article. Upon receipt of a report from the court, the Division of Motor Vehicles shall notify the appropriate officials in the licensing jurisdiction of the suspension or postponement.
