Classifying crimes related to driving under the influence and driving a commercial vehicle under the influence as person crimes.

Summary

The bill would change Kansas law so that driving under the influence, including operating a commercial vehicle while intoxicated, is treated as a person crime rather than a property crime. It establishes specific misdemeanor and felony penalties, requires an alcohol/drug evaluation before sentencing, and adds a harsher sentence if a child is in the vehicle. The measure did not advance and died in committee.
