New year brings new California laws
DUI DWI Laws
The new year brings new state laws that drivers, school children, homeowners and everyone else should know about. Following is a partial list with a synopsis of each law that takes effect in 2010.
A pilot for DUI drivers
Assembly Bill 91 establishes a pilot program in the counties of Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Tulare that will run from July 1 through Jan. 1, 2016. The program will require drivers convicted of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol to install and maintain an ignition interlock device for a prescribed amount of time before they can have their driving privileges reinstated.
DUI driver options
Effective July 1, Senate Bill 598 will require the Department of Motor Vehicles to advise second-time and third-time misdemeanor DUI offenders of the following options: get a restricted driver's license that would allow driving after a 90-day suspension period after a second conviction, or a six-month suspension period for a third conviction if the violation only involves alcohol.
Offenders must enroll in a DUI program and install and keep ignition interlock devices in their vehicles.
