CLE IN ANOTHER STATE WHERE  SUCH  VIOLATION,  IF  COMMITTED  WITHIN  THE
STATE,  WOULD  HAVE  RESULTED  IN A SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION OF NEW YORK
STATE DRIVING PRIVILEGES. IN THE EVENT SUCH  APPLICANT  HAS  SUCH  PRIOR
CONVICTION, THE COMMISSIONER SHALL DENY THE APPLICATION FOR LICENSING OR
THE  LEARNER'S  PERMIT  OR REVOKE SUCH LICENSE OR LEARNER'S PERMIT UNTIL
SUCH APPLICANT HAS SATISFIED THE APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF NEW YORK STATE
STATUTES AND REGULATIONS RELATING THERETO.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day  after  it  shall
have become a law.
