Gov Signs Angelica’s Law Named for Long Island Teen Killed By Driver With Suspended License

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill into law named for a Long Island girl that lowers to five the number of New York State driver’s license suspensions needed to be charged with a felony for driving without a license.

Angelica’s Law was named for Angelica Nappi of Holbrook, who was 14 when a driver whose license was suspended seven times struck and killed the teen in 2008 in Medford. The driver only served four months in jail.
