Bill > SB602

This bill establishes a new category of "interdicted person" for individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI), particularly repeat offenders. An interdicted person is someone prohibited from purchasing alcohol by law or court order. The bill mandates that individuals convicted of DUI, especially those with prior convictions within the last 10 years, will be designated as interdicted persons by the court for a period determined by the judge. As part of this designation, they will be required to surrender their driver's license or identification card and may be issued a special "interdicted person license certificate" or "interdicted person identification card" by the Division of Motor Vehicles. These special cards will clearly indicate "No Alcohol Sale" and feature a prominent red stripe to alert vendors. The bill also outlines procedures for voluntarily obtaining these interdicted cards, sets fees for them, and requires the department to develop training for verifying interdicted status.
