AI Summary

This bill amends existing law to revise the penalty for vehicular manslaughter in Idaho. Specifically, it creates two tiers of penalties for vehicular manslaughter based on whether the person has a prior conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) or a similar offense. For those without a prior DUI conviction, the maximum fine is increased from $10,000 to $15,000 and the maximum prison sentence is increased from 10 to 15 years. For those with a prior DUI conviction, the maximum fine is increased to $20,000 and a mandatory minimum prison sentence of 10 years (up to 25 years) is imposed. The bill also makes a technical correction and declares an emergency, with the changes taking effect on July 1, 2024.
