OWI penalties.

Summary

The bill requires courts to sentence anyone with one prior OWI conviction to at least ten days in jail (or 240 hours of community service) and anyone with two prior convictions to at least twenty days (or the same service). It also adds watercraft to the definition of “vehicle,” repeals the separate motor‑boat OWI crime, and changes several procedural rules around OWI cases. The measure was not enacted and was sent back to committee after failing to pass.
