LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 598, Huff. Vehicles: driving under the influence (DUI).
(1) Existing law requires a person's privilege to operate a motor
vehicle to be suspended or revoked for a specified period of time if
the person has been convicted of violating specified provisions
prohibiting driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of an
alcoholic beverage or drug, or the combined influence of an alcoholic
beverage and drug, or with 0.08% or more, by weight, of alcohol in
his or her blood, or who is addicted to the use of any drug. Existing
law authorizes a person whose privilege is suspended or revoked in
that manner to receive a restricted driver's license if specified
requirements are met, including, in some instances, the installation
of a certified ignition interlock device on the person's vehicle.
Existing law requires that a person, convicted of driving under
the influence, without bodily injury to another, within 10 years of
being convicted of a separate violation of one of specified
driving-under-the-influence offenses, be punished by his or her
driving privilege being suspended for 2 years. The Department of
Motor Vehicles is required to advise the person that he or she may
apply for a restricted driver's license after completion of 12 months
of the suspension period, which may include credit for a specified
concurrent suspension, subject to certain conditions, including,
among other things, submitting proof of installation of a certified
ignition interlock device, agreeing to maintain the ignition
interlock device, and paying certain fees, including, but not limited
to, all administrative fees or reissue fees.
This bill would instead require the department to advise a person,
who was only under the influence of an alcoholic beverage at the
time of the violation, that he or she may apply for a restricted
driver's license after completion of 90 days of the suspension
period, under certain circumstances.
(2) Existing law requires that a person convicted of driving under
the influence, without bodily injury to another, within 10 years of
being convicted of 2 separate violations of specified
driving-under-the-influence offenses, be punished by his or her
driving privilege being revoked for 3 years. The department is
required to advise the person that he or she may apply for a
restricted driver's license after completion of 12 months of the
revocation period, which may include credit for a specified
concurrent suspension, subject to certain conditions, including,
among other things, satisfactory completion of 12 months of an
18-month or 30-month driving-under-the-influence program, submitting
proof of installation of a certified ignition interlock device,
agreeing to maintain the ignition interlock device, and paying
certain fees.
This bill would instead require the department to advise a person,
who was found to be only under the influence of an alcoholic
beverage at the time of the violation, of his or her ability to apply
for a restricted driver's license after completion of 6 months of
the revocation period, subject to certain conditions, including that
if the person is convicted of a specified offense that person
subsequently satisfactorily provides proof of enrollment in an
18-month or 30-month driving-under-the-influence program, as
prescribed. The bill would require the person to pay a fee sufficient
to cover the costs of administration, as determined by the
department.
(3) This bill would require that a person convicted of driving
under the influence of any drug or the combined influence of any drug
and an alcoholic beverage, without bodily injury to another, within
10 years of being convicted of a separate violation of one of the
specified driving-under-the-influence offenses, be punished by his or
her driving privilege being revoked for 2 years. This bill would
authorize the department to reinstate the privilege provided certain
conditions are met. This bill would require the department to advise
the person that he or she may apply for a restricted driver's license
after completion of 12 months of the suspended period, subject to
certain conditions including, among other things, that the person
provides proof of enrollment in an 18-month or 30-month
driving-under-the-influence program, as prescribed.
(4) This bill would also require a person convicted of driving
under the influence of any drug or the combined influence of any drug
and an alcoholic beverage, without bodily injury to another, within
10 years of being convicted of 2 separate violations of specified
driving-under-the-influence offenses, be punished by his or her
driving privilege being revoked for 3 years. This bill would
authorize the department to reinstate the privilege provided certain
conditions are met. This bill would require the department to advise
the person that he or she may apply for a restricted driver's license
after completion of 12 months of the suspended period, subject to
certain conditions, including, among other things, that the person
has satisfactorily completed the initial 12 months of an 18-month or
30-month driving-under-the-influence program as prescribed.
(5) This bill would make other conforming changes.
(6) This bill would become operative on July 1, 2010.

Code, or is a program specified in Section 8001 of the Penal Code.
