AI Summary

  • CDL holders who commit a first-offense DUI while driving a non-commercial vehicle (one not requiring a CDL) would become eligible for nonadjudication and expunction under this bill

  • Current Mississippi law bars all commercial driver's license and commercial learner's permit holders from DUI diversion programs regardless of what vehicle they were operating at the time of offense

  • The bill amends Section 63-11-30 of the Mississippi Code to distinguish between CDL holders operating commercial vehicles versus personal vehicles when determining eligibility for alternative sentencing

  • Nonadjudication allows courts to withhold conviction and place defendants in supervised programs; successful completion results in no formal conviction on record

  • Expunction eligibility requires at least 5 years after completing all sentence terms, no test refusal, BAC below 0.16%, and no other DUI convictions or pending charges

Legislative Description

DUIs; authorize diversion for CDL holders who were operating vehicles that did not require a CDL at the time of offense.
