New Kansas DUI law to be implemented.
As of July 1st Kansas now has new DUI laws on the books. The new law will require all 2nd, 3rd and 4th DUI offenders to serve one year with a suspended license followed by one year restricted to interlock. How is this different you may ask, well Kansas will now require that the offender show proof of completion of a 12 month interlock program to get full driving privileges reinstated. This will mean that the days of an aforementioned offender just continuing to drive without interlock for the year of interlock restriction are gone. Although it was the intent of the original law, a loophole that was letting nearly 80% of all second and subsequent offenders slide by has now been closed by our Kansas legislators. I will have more on this new law and its potential impact to offenders as soon as it is made available.
