Citations Affected: IC 9-13-2-149.3; IC 9-24; IC 9-30-5-18;
IC 35-45-1-5.
Synopsis: Prohibition on purchase of alcohol. Requires a person
convicted of operating while intoxicated within the previous two years
to surrender the person's driver's license to the bureau of motor vehicles
and be issued a "recently convicted drunk driver's license", which bears
a clearly visible red diagonal bar across the face of the license
containing the words "no alcohol sales". Provides that the bureau may
print the information contained on a recently convicted drunk driver's
license perpendicular to the bottom edge of the license. Makes it a
Class B misdemeanor for a person convicted of operating while
intoxicated in the previous two years (defined as a "recently convicted
drunk driver") to purchase an alcoholic beverage, and increases the
penalty to a Class A misdemeanor if the person has a prior conviction
within the past five years. Makes it a Class C misdemeanor for a person
to knowingly, intentionally, or recklessly sell an alcoholic beverage to
a recently convicted drunk driver, and increases the penalty to a Class
B misdemeanor if the person has a prior conviction within the past five
years. Provides a defense for the sale of alcohol to a recently convicted
drunk driver if the purchaser presented the seller with apparently valid
identification.
Effective: July 1, 2011.
