For a period of time, a law existed whereby a person who had committed a certain number and/or type of traffic offenses could be declared an habitual offender and have his license revoked for at least ten years. While that law has since been rescinded, those people who had been declared an habitual offender can still be charged for driving after having been declared an habitual offender. A first offense for this crime is a misdemeanor.
A second or subsequent offense for driving after having been declared an habitual offender is punishable as a felony and involves a mandatory, minimum prison sentence of one year.
