HB 1812 DUI, additional alternative sanctions for habitual offenders.
Introduced by: Brian J. Moran | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS ENACTED WITH GOVERNOR'S RECOMMENDATION: (all summaries)
DUI; additional alternative sanctions for habitual offenders. Makes third DUI offense within ten years a Class 6 felony, with fourth and subsequent offenses carrying a one-year mandatory minimum jail sentence. The bill repeals the determination and adjudication provisions of the Habitual Offender Act but retains restoration provisions. Adds indefinite period license revocation language to §§ 18.2-36.1 and 18.2-51.4, governing involuntary manslaughter and maiming resulting from a DUI. The bill provides for petition for a restricted license after expiration of three years of the revocation and for a petition for full reinstatement after five years. The offender is subject to felony punishment if he drives during the revocation period. The bill also provides for participation in alternative intermediate sanctions in lieu of incarceration for a second or third DUI or DUI maiming offense. Additionally, it requires drivers convicted of a second offense of driving on a suspended operators license under § 46.2-301 to report to a Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program for an intervention. This bill is identical to SB 841.
