Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to public safety; revising the penalties for a person who drives a motor vehicle or commercial motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or certain other substances; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.

AI Summary

This bill revises provisions related to driving under the influence (DUI) by extending the lookback period for prior offenses from 7 to 10 years across multiple sections of Nevada law. Specifically, the bill changes how prior DUI offenses are counted when determining penalties, license revocation, and other consequences. Under the new law, when calculating whether a driver has committed multiple DUI offenses, the timeframe will be expanded from 7 years to 10 years, which means that any DUI offenses committed within a 10-year period can be used to enhance penalties for subsequent offenses. The bill impacts various sections of Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), including those related to license suspension, residential confinement, and record sealing. The changes will affect how courts and the Department of Motor Vehicles handle DUI cases, potentially resulting in more stringent penalties for repeat offenders. The bill is set to become effective on July 1, 2025, and will apply to offenses committed before July 1, 2026, for the purpose of determining penalties for offenses committed on or after that date.
