SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

The current felony of operating an aircraft while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any narcotic or habit-forming drug remains unchanged. Violation of the other provisions is a Class 1 misdemeanor. The offender is prohibited from acting as flight crew for 12 months for a first offense and for 24 months for a second or subsequent offense within five years of the prior offense. Provisions regarding implied consent, blood alcohol concentrations, tests and refusal are added. The existing crime of reckless operation of an aircraft is moved to a new section.
