AI Summary

  • Amends Vehicle Code Section 23550.5 to authorize enhanced penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) or DUI causing injury convictions that occur within 10 years of a separate prior felony conviction for DUI, DUI causing injury, or vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.

  • Enhanced penalties include imprisonment in state prison or county jail for up to one year and fines between $390 and $1,000.

  • Requires driver's license revocation and designates the person as a habitual traffic offender for three years following conviction under these enhanced penalty provisions.

  • Changes prior law by clarifying that enhanced penalties apply based on a "separate" prior conviction rather than the current offense occurring within 10 years of a prior conviction.

  • Specifies that no state reimbursement to local agencies is required for implementation costs.
