Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 5 of Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to drivers' licenses, so as to require the intervention component for DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Programs be conducted in person; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia law concerning driver's licenses to mandate that the intervention component of DUI Alcohol or Drug Use Risk Reduction Programs must be conducted in person. These programs are designed to educate individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) about alcohol and drug use and its connection to driving, and often include peer group counseling. Previously, these intervention components could be offered remotely or online, but this bill explicitly prohibits online courses or remote participation platforms that do not provide in-person instruction, ensuring that all therapeutic education and counseling related to DUI risk reduction are delivered face-to-face.
