AI Summary

This bill modifies Oklahoma's laws regarding driving under the influence (DUI) by lowering the blood or breath alcohol concentration (BAC) threshold for being considered under the influence from 0.08% to 0.05% for individuals 21 and older, effective June 1, 2028, and also applies this lower threshold to boating under the influence. It also removes the two-hour time limit for administering BAC tests after an arrest, clarifies that the timing requirements for tests do not apply when someone is under the influence of substances other than alcohol or a combination of alcohol and other substances, and reclassifies certain DUI offenses as felonies with adjusted penalties, including increased prison time and fines for repeat offenders or those committing aggravated DUI. Additionally, the bill modifies the scope of expert testimony allowed in DUI cases, removing the ability to testify on specific alcohol concentration levels and instead focusing on impairment, and repeals several existing versions of the DUI statute to consolidate the changes.
