Bill bars car, boat licensing, registration for repeat DUI convicts


Associated Press

Anyone pleading guilty or being convicted of a second drunken driving offense wouldn't be able to register or license cars or boats, under a bill that cleared the Senate on Thursday.

On the second offense of operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the penalty is in force for 30 days. Subsequent offenses would increase the penalty to two years.

It would cost $40 to reinstate registrations after the penalty period.
