MS HB1350

Removes the prohibition preventing commercial driver's license (CDL) holders from being eligible for nonadjudication on a qualifying first-offense DUI charge in Mississippi

Currently, CDL or commercial learning permit holders at the time of a DUI offense are ineligible for nonadjudication, which allows courts to withhold guilt adjudication while the offender completes a supervision program

The bill amends Section 63-11-30 of the Mississippi Code of 1972 by striking language that specifically excludes CDL holders from the nonadjudication option

Nonadjudication remains limited to one-time use per person and requires completion of court-ordered conditions including alcohol safety education, fines, and either ignition-interlock installation for 120 days or license suspension

Effective date: July 1, 2026
