Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Delaware:
Section 1. Section 2733, Title 21, Delaware Code is amended by adding three new subsections thereto as follows:

(h) The Department, upon receiving a record of convictions of any person upon a charge of operating a motor vehicle in violation of the restriction imposed upon said occupational license during the period of such occupational license, shall immediately extend the period of such suspension for an additional like period and shall forthwith direct such person to surrender said occupational license to the Department.
() Any person whose operators or chauffeur's license has been suspended and an occupational license issued who drives any motor vehicle upon the highways of this State contrary to the restrictions placed upon such occupational license during the period of such occupational license shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $200.
