The purpose of this bill is to eliminate the Division of Motor Vehicle’s administrative hearing process for suspending and revoking driver’s licenses based on D.U.I.; to eliminate all statutory provisions authorizing or requiring the division to take action upon an individual’s driver’s license based on D.U.I., in the absence of a conviction or court order; to establish new procedures for courts with criminal jurisdiction to suspend and revoke driver’s licenses based on D.U.I., and to require certain warnings concerning blood and breath tests during D.U.I. arrests. Strike throughs indicate language that would be stricken from a heading or the present law, and underscoring indicates new language that would be added. §17C-5A-2 and §17C-5A-2a have been completely rewritten, and are therefore completely underscored.

Establishing new procedures for courts with criminal jurisdiction to suspend and revoke driver’s licenses based on D.U.I.
