  • Amends Sections 63-11-23 and 63-11-30 of the Mississippi Code regarding DUI violations and license suspensions

  • Corrects minor typographical errors in existing statute (changing "and" to "or" and "hundreths" to "hundredths")

  • Set to take effect July 1, 2022, though the bill contains a repealer clause for June 30, 2022
