AI Summary
This bill, effective November 1, 2026, amends existing laws related to driving under the influence (DUI) and felony offenses. It introduces a new Class C2 felony offense by aggregating certain DUI violations that occur within a one-year period, meaning multiple DUIs within a year can be treated as a single, more serious felony offense. The bill also modifies the penalties for repeat DUI offenses, including those involving personal injury or transporting a child, and for aggravated DUI, which now includes offenses like driving with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 or higher, causing an accident, eluding police, or driving with a passenger under 18. Additionally, the bill updates references and language within the statutes concerning DUI and felony classifications, and repeals several previous versions of the DUI statute to consolidate the law.
