What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if a person commits his or her first offense of operating a

motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant, a controlled substance, or

a combination of the two, or of operating a motor vehicle with a detectable amount

of a restricted controlled substance or a prohibited alcohol concentration in his or her

blood, the person is subject to a forfeiture of not less than $150 nor more than $300.

Under this bill, if the person who commits the first offense while he or she has

a blood alcohol concentration of 0.20 or more, or a blood alcohol concentration of 0.16

or more and any amount of a restricted controlled substance in his or her blood, the

person would be fined not less than $350 nor more than $1,100 and imprisoned for

not less than five days nor more than six months.
