Under current law, a DUI, DUI per se, or DWAI is a misdemeanor offense. The bill makes such an offense a class 4 felony if: • The violation occurred not more than 7 years after the first of 2 prior convictions for DWAI, DUI, or DUI per se; vehicular homicide; or vehicular assault; or • The violation occurred after 3 prior convictions for DWAI, DUI, or DUI per se; vehicular homicide; or vehicular assault.
The bill repeals provisions relating to the crime of aggravated driving with a revoked license when the offender also commits DUI, DUI per se, or DWAI as part of the same criminal episode.
The bill makes conforming amendments.
