MO SB880

Establishes DWI dockets and courts as alternatives to traditional judicial proceedings for defendants who plead guilty to driving while intoxicated with blood alcohol content of at least 0.15% or who have prior intoxication-related traffic offenses.

Increases penalties and mandatory imprisonment for intoxication-related offenses, including raising minimum jail time for first offenders from 48 hours to 5 days depending on blood alcohol content, unless the offender participates in a DWI court program.

Extends license revocation periods from one year to two years for drivers who refuse chemical testing, and from two years to three years for those without proof of financial responsibility.

Creates new offense classifications for repeat offenders: prior offenders (Class A misdemeanor), persistent offenders (Class D felony), aggravated offenders (Class C felony), and chronic offenders (Class B felony).

Requires law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to report all intoxication-related traffic offenses to the highway patrol's driving while intoxicated tracking system (DWITS), with authority for the governor to withhold state funding for non-compliance.
