What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation (DOT) maintains a record of a licensed driver's driving history. Currently, DOT maintains permanently a person's record of convictions, suspensions, or revocations that are related to operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI), except that records of a person's first offense for most violations related to OWI are purged after ten years if: 1) the person had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more but less than 0.1 at the time of the violation; 2) the person does not have a commercial driver license; 3) the violation was not committed by a person operating a commercial motor vehicle; and 4) the person does not commit another OWI-related offense during the ten-year period.
Under this bill, DOT is required to purge, after ten years, a person's record of any conviction, suspension, or revocation that is related to OWI, unless the offense was committed by a person with a commercial driver license or who was operating a commercial motor vehicle at the time of the offense.
