Massachusetts will not give a hardship license to an individual with an out-of-state license. Massachusetts will not reinstate your right to operate a motor vehicle in Massachusetts on a hardship basis if you do not have a Massachusetts license. Hardship licenses are only available to those people in Massachusetts who have a Massachusetts license. You will have to consult with a New Jersey attorney to determine the consequences the OUI from Massachusetts has on your New Jersey license. Most states will suspend your drivers license until the out-of-state suspension has been rectified. At this point your right to operate in Massachusetts has been suspended for the OUI. If it was a first offense you lost your license for 30 days if you took and failed the breathalyzer test, and for six months if you refused to take the breath test. If you went to court you probably lost your license for 45 days. Once the 45 days commences on a first offense OUI, it stops the running of the breath test suspension. If you were previously convicted of a drunk driving charge anywhere else in the country and Massachusetts is aware of that conviction you will be subject to additional license loss penalties.
