License suspension and revocation.

Summary

The bill changes California law so a first‑offense DUI triggers a one‑year driver’s license suspension instead of six months, and it raises penalties for repeat offenses to up to ten years or permanent revocation after four offenses. It also extends suspensions for high blood‑alcohol or test‑refusal cases, mandates ignition‑interlock devices, and stops state reimbursement for certain costs. The measure did not advance and is considered failed.
