It shall be unlawful for any person under the legal age to,
without legal authority, knowingly possess or knowingly consume an
alcoholic beverage on private property.
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. The person
shall be required to acknowledge receipt of the written notice in
writing. Failure to receive a written notice or failure to acknowledge
a receipt of a written notice shall not be a defense to a subsequent
charge of a violation of N.J.S.A. 39:3-40.
If the person convicted under such an ordinance is not a New
Jersey resident, the court shall suspend or postpone, as appropriate,
the nonresident driving privilege of the person based on the age of
the person and submit to the Division the required report. The court
shall not collect the license of a nonresident convicted under this
section. Upon receipt of the report by the court, the Division shall
notify the appropriate officials in the licensing jurisdiction of
the suspension or postponement.
