Yes, that may be the maximum penalty for the offense, but you won't get that. You'll get a fine, and probably not a very high one at that.

Further, this is nothing new. I really have no idea what America you once believed in, but the America you've actually lived in all these years has always mandated having a license and there have always been penalties like that possible if you don't have one. I assume this is new to you simply because you never got a ticket for it before.
