Insurance Law Law Answers
Title XXIII, Section 322.27 of the Florida Statutes states that the DMV has the authority to suspend or revoke a license without a preliminary hearing when the licensee has committed an offense in another state that if committed in Florida would be grounds for suspension or revocation of the license.
Any unpaid ticket reported in another state also results in suspension or revocation of a Florida license.
You will probably have to take care of that New York penalty, either by paying it or fighting it.
Here is the Florida DMV website with more information: http://www.flhsmv.gov/ddl/faqsuspend.html#11.
