MO HB1695

Establishes DWI courts/dockets in circuit courts for cases involving driving while intoxicated, requiring judicial supervision, drug testing, continuous alcohol monitoring, and substance abuse treatment for participants.

Increases minimum imprisonment requirements for prior offenders (10 days instead of 5) and persistent offenders (30 days instead of 10) convicted of intoxication-related traffic offenses, with exceptions for community service or successful completion of DWI court programs.

Allows DWI court participants who would otherwise be ineligible to receive limited driving privileges after 45 days of participation, and grants commissioners authority to hear applications for limited driving privileges.

Requires law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, and municipal courts to adopt policies for reporting arrest, charge, and disposition information for intoxication-related traffic offenses to a central repository maintained by the highway patrol.

Prohibits municipal courts from hearing intoxication-related offenses for defendants with two or more prior convictions or alcohol-related enforcement contacts within a specified period, requiring transfer to circuit court.
