Chapter 749, Statutes of 2007

Some bill research does not include the Governor's file because at the time we researched the bill, the sitting Governor had not released his chaptered bill file. If the Governor's file is not included with this particular research, please contact our office (1-530-666-1917 or quote@legintent.com) and we will be happy to provide this file at no charge if it is available. Please Note: Governor files did not exist prior to 1943.

Provides that a person on probation DUI who violates the probation conditions relating to driving with a 0.01 percent level of alcohol or refusing to take a preliminary alcohol screening shall be subject to an automatic license suspension and a possible vehicle impound.

According to the author, "Currently, many DUI offenders are placed on informal court probation pursuant to Vehicle Code Section 23600. The terms and conditions of such probation include, but are not limited to, probation not less than three nor more than five years and a requirement that the person shall not drive a motor vehicle with any measurable amount of alcohol in his/her blood. "This bill would create a Vehicle Code section that prohibits convicted DUI offenders from operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of 0.01% or higher during the term of his/her probation. A violation of this section would be an infraction."
