Bill > S2402

This bill increases penalties for certain motor vehicle offenses, specifically by raising the maximum prison sentences and fines for "driving so as to endanger, resulting in death" and "driving so as to endanger, resulting in serious personal injury," with "serious bodily injury" defined as physical harm that poses a substantial risk of death or causes significant permanent disfigurement or loss of bodily function. Additionally, the bill modifies penalties for "driving under the influence, resulting in death" and "driving under the influence, resulting in serious bodily injury" by removing enhanced punishments for repeat offenders and instead establishing a single, broader range of potential prison sentences and fines, and also adjusts the duration of license revocation for these offenses. This act will become law immediately upon its approval.
