Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person who has one or no prior convictions, suspensions
or revocations for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an
intoxicant or drugs or both is prohibited from operating a motor vehicle if the alcohol
concentration in the person's blood is 0.1 or more.
Current law prohibits a person who has 2 or more of those convictions,
suspensions or revocations from operating a motor vehicle if the alcohol
concentration in the person's blood is 0.08 or more.
This bill prohibits a person who has 3 or more of those convictions, suspensions
or revocations from operating a motor vehicle if the person has any measured alcohol
concentration in his or her blood.
