What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill makes changes to certain offenses relating to operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI-related offenses).
Under current law, a first OWI-related offense is a civil violation, unless there was a minor passenger under the age of 16 in the vehicle at the time of the offense.
Read the full summary Show less
A person who commits a civil OWI-related offense is subject to a forfeiture of not less than $150 nor more than $300. Subsequent OWI-related offenses are crimes punishable by fines and periods of imprisonment that increase with every subsequent offense.
Current law increases the penalty for a second OWI-related offense if the person committed the second offense within ten years of the first offense or if the person committed an OWI-related offense that caused death or great bodily harm to another.
Under this bill, a person who commits a first OWI-related offense is guilty of a Class C misdemeanor and may be fined up to $500, imprisoned for up to 30 days, or both. Under the bill, a person who commits a second OWI-related offense is subject to the increased penalties regardless of whether the person commits the offense within ten years of his or her first OWI-related offense.
Under the bill, a court may, upon petition by the person who has been convicted of a first OWI-related offense, vacate the person's criminal conviction and amend the record to a civil violation if, in the five years since the person was convicted of the offense, he or she has not committed any other OWI-related offense. Under the bill, the clerk of courts amends the court records that are available in person and online to show only the civil violation.
