AI Summary

  • Amends Section 32-6-19 of the Alabama Code to create a new Class A misdemeanor offense for third or subsequent convictions of driving with a cancelled, denied, suspended, or revoked license when the suspension resulted from a DUI-related offense.

  • Establishes a minimum mandatory sentence of 30 days in jail for the Class A misdemeanor conviction, increasing penalties from the standard misdemeanor range of $100-$500 fine and up to 180 days imprisonment.

  • Maintains existing requirements for vehicle impoundment when a person operates a motor vehicle while their license or driving privilege is suspended as a consequence of a DUI-related offense.

  • Exempts the bill from additional requirements under Amendment 621 of the Alabama Constitution because it defines a new crime rather than requiring new local government expenditures.

  • The act becomes effective on the first day of the third month following passage and approval by the Governor.
