Bill > S943

This bill proposes to amend Section 24D of Chapter 90 of the General Laws, which likely pertains to operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol (often referred to as DUI or OUI). The key provision is the addition of language stating that the penalties or provisions of this section will not apply to individuals who caused injury to law enforcement personnel during the events that led to their arrest or indictment for driving under the influence of alcohol. In simpler terms, if a driver under the influence injures a police officer while committing the offense, the standard penalties for DUI might not be applied in that specific circumstance, suggesting a potential shift in how such cases are handled or prosecuted.
