Summary
Driving while intoxicated; no driver's license. Requires a 30-day mandatory minimum jail sentence and vehicle forfeiture for DUI defendants who do not hold a valid driver's license or who are not authorized to drive at the time of the offense. A third violation of driving without a license is raised from a Class 1 misdemeanor to a Class 6 felony. A person who drives without a license when he has previously been convicted of DUI and driving without a license for the same event is guilty of a Class 6 felony. The bill also increases from three to 30 the number of days a vehicle is impounded for a person found guilty of driving without a license for the second time. The impoundment will be ended upon acquisition of a driver's license and payment of all fees.
