The NCSL is a fairly well know and respected organization and they're still posting New Jersey as "DUII not a crime." This could mean several things. For example the NJ State SC may have taken action not reflected in the older article. I don't know.
What ever the reason is I'm certain they're doing something to prosecute people driving while impaired. I'd guess, if they haven't reversed State V. Hamm, they do something like reckless driving in place of DUII. I think the key wording on the NCSL site is not a "crime."
At any rate if it is a crime in NJ I stand corrected. Wasn't really a main part of my point, more of a side note. I was responding to a post where the poster stated DUII isn't a felony, in fact I think they stated killing somebody while driving drunk wasn't a felony. My point was DUII certainly can be a felony and I'd be very surprised if killing someone while driving drunk didn't yield felony charges.
