ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Starting tomorrow — Angelica's Law will go into effect for New York. The law is named after Angelica Nappi, who was killed in 2008 at age 14 when a driver ran a red light. The driver was unlicensed and had seven prior suspensions. This law will lower the amount of prior license suspensions that can result in felony charges. Right now, you need 10 prior license suspensions before you are charged with aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle. Starting tomorrow, that number will be five. Angelica's mother, Dawn Riendeau, had pushed for lawmakers to pass the law for 15 years. It was eventually signed into law in December 2023 by Governor Hochul. "Today is a day 16 years in the making. Angelica’s Law brings us one step closer towards creating safer roadways and saving lives," Riendeau said in a statement. "Although there is more work to be done, I am thankful for the progress that was made in memory of my daughter." The DMV is also proposing further changes, such as increasing the number of points with dangerous driving, decreasing the threshold at which drivers are disqualified for having a license, and others.
