DUI-Alcohol:
If you submitted to a breath or blood alcohol test and your breath or blood alcohol was .08 or higher, or if you refused a breath or blood alcohol test, then your driver’s license was suspended at the time of your arrest and the temporary permit shown on your DUI citation is valid for only ten (10) days. If you do not take immediate action your license will remain suspended for at least six (6) months, unless you refused to submit to breath testing in which case your license will remain suspended for one (1) year, or in the case of a prior refusal to submit to breath or blood testing, 18 months. You will not be eligible for a hardship license for 30 days following the expiration of your temporary permit if you had an unlawful blood or breath alcohol level and 90 days if you refused to submit to testing. Your license will remain suspended unless you petition, within ten (10) days, for an administrative review hearing and are able to establish at the review hearing that the suspension should be invalidated.
If you are convicted of DUI, in addition to a lifetime conviction record, for a first conviction, you face a maximum jail sentence of six (6) months, a minimum of at least six (6) months of mandatory probation, suspension of your driving privileges for at least six (6) months, a minimum $500.00 fine, fifty (50) hours of community service, mandatory DUI School, substance abuse and victim impact counseling, ten (10) day impoundment or immobilization of the motor vehicle you were driving at the time of arrest, and court costs. Additionally, DUI is an enhancement crime, and the penalties are more severe, including minimum mandatory jail time, if you were previously convicted of DUI or an equivalent offense in another State.
