Bill Summary

AN ACT To repeal R.S. 14:98.1(A)(4), 98.2(A)(5), 98.3(A)(4), and 98.4(A)(3), relative to additional fines imposed for driving while impaired; and to provide for an effective date.

AI Summary

This bill repeals specific provisions within Louisiana Revised Statutes (R.S.) 14:98.1, 98.2, 98.3, and 98.4, which relate to additional fines imposed for driving while impaired, commonly known as DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). The bill's primary effect is to remove these existing additional fines from the law, and it specifies that it will become effective upon the governor's signature, or if not signed, after the constitutional period for bills to become law without signature, with a provision for an earlier effective date if the governor vetoes the bill and the legislature overrides it.
