AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES -- MOTOR VEHICLE OFFENSES
05/05/2026 Committee recommended measure be held for further study
Summary
The measure amends several motor‑vehicle offense statutes to raise the maximum imprisonment terms, monetary fines, and periods of license suspension for reckless driving that causes death or serious injury and for DUI incidents that cause death or serious injury. It also eliminates the extra penalties that currently apply to second or subsequent DUI convictions of those types. The changes would affect anyone convicted of these offenses, aiming to strengthen deterrence and simplify sentencing.
