Summary

The bill requires that anyone convicted of a third DUI within ten years and sentenced to state prison be permanently barred from buying alcohol. The Department of Motor Vehicles must place a "Repeat Serious DUI Offender" label on that person’s driver’s license or ID, and alcohol retailers can refuse service to anyone showing such a card. It also tightens age‑verification rules and updates first‑offense DUI penalties.
