Bill Summary
Under current law, a person who is convicted of operating while intoxicated must pay for and undergo a substance use disorder evaluation prior to sentencing. This bill strikes the requirement for the evaluation to occur prior to sentencing.
AI Summary
This bill, formerly known as HF 803 and HF 464, amends existing law concerning individuals convicted of operating while intoxicated (OWI), which refers to driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Currently, those convicted of OWI are required to pay for and complete a substance use disorder evaluation before they are sentenced. This bill proposes to remove the requirement that this evaluation must be completed *prior* to sentencing, meaning the evaluation could occur after sentencing, though the individual would still be ordered to undergo it at their own expense and follow its recommendations.
