Kansas DUI Commission Finalizing Changes
A committee compiled of professionals from many fields involving the DUI process, as well as Kansas Legislators is drafting their new DUI bill. Although they have not completed their work they have started to come together on some of the topics that will be highlighted in their November final bill draft.
Ignition Interlock changes look to include shortening the suspension period, include all first time offenders to be required to serve at least a year of ignition interlock, as well as increase the amount of time on the ignition interlock for multiple DUI offenders.
As research has shown the increase in the amount of ignition interlocks installed on DUI offenders directly impacts the amount of alcohol related crashes, injuries and fatalities. The graph below illustrates this correlation, provided and compiled by *** Roth of www.ImpactDWI.org.
Congratulations to the DUI Commission on taking a life saving step towards reducing alcohol related fatalities in Kansas. Ignition Interlocks are a powerful tool to be used in the fight against drunk driving.
