SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

DUI; probation; license suspension, etc. Removes the provision that, unless otherwise modified by the court, a defendant who has been convicted of a fourth or subsequent DUI in 10 years shall remain on probation and under the terms of any suspended sentence for the same period as his operator's license was suspended, not to exceed three years. The bill also amends the provision that allows for administrative suspension of driving privileges for refusal to submit to a test to determine blood alcohol content to provide that the suspension can occur for refusal to submit to a blood test as well as a breath test. In addition, the bill corrects two incorrect cross-references, corrects an omission regarding administrative suspension of licenses for failure to order ignition interlock, and clarifies that VASAP is required for all convictions under § 18.2-266. This bill incorporates SB 190.
