2020 House Bill 5854 ↩

Senate Roll Call 506: Passed

To repeal a mandatory five-day sentence for driving drunk or drugged, or for drunk driving with children in the car, and to allow “specialty” courts that can mandate various treatment options to manage subsequent offenses rather than ordering mandatory jail time. This is part of a legislative package that repeals mandatory minimum sentences in other laws, and part a larger sentencing reform project aimed at not incarcerating individuals for petty or less serious crimes.
