Bill > HB0192

This bill establishes new penalties for individuals arrested for driving while under the influence (DUI) who refuse to submit to a chemical test, even after a search warrant has been issued. Specifically, it makes refusal a misdemeanor offense, punishable by up to six months in jail, a fine of up to $750, or both, and mandates a driver's license suspension of at least 30 days and up to one year. The bill also clarifies that this refusal can be used as evidence in a DUI criminal case and requires offenders to undergo a substance use disorder assessment and any recommended treatment at their own expense. These provisions apply to all drivers, as well as those under 21 and commercial motor vehicle drivers, with specific references to their respective license types. The bill also mandates the Department of Transportation to create necessary rules and outlines its effective dates.
