Bill > HB762

This bill modifies Mississippi's Implied Consent Law, which requires drivers to consent to chemical tests (breath, blood, or urine) if an officer has probable cause to believe they are driving under the influence of alcohol or other impairing substances. Previously, refusing such a test would result in a license suspension of 90 days for a first offense or one year for a repeat offender. However, this bill adds a provision stating that if a person who refused a chemical test later pleads guilty to the driving under the influence charge at their trial, the license suspension for refusing the test will be canceled. The bill also brings forward Section 63-11-23, which outlines administrative license suspensions for test refusal and other related provisions, without making direct changes to that section itself.
