AI Summary
This bill, effective November 1, 2026, amends existing laws to create a new felony offense for driving under the influence (DUI) by allowing for the aggregation of certain DUI offenses committed within a one-year period, and also revises penalties for repeat DUI offenders and those committing aggravated DUI. Specifically, it modifies the definition of a Class C2 felony offense to include aggregated DUI violations, and it updates the penalties for subsequent DUI convictions, including those involving personal injury or transporting a child, by referencing the sentencing guidelines outlined in Section 20M of Title 21 of the Oklahoma Statutes. The bill also introduces a Class B4 felony for a third DUI offense and a Class B3 felony for a fourth DUI offense, along with enhanced penalties for aggravated DUI, which includes factors like a high blood alcohol concentration or causing an accident. Additionally, the bill repeals several previous amendments to the DUI statute to consolidate and clarify the law.
