ARIZONA STATE SENATE
Establishes a two year driver license suspension period for an 18, 19 or 20 year old who is convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI).
Statute outlines license
suspension and revocation procedures for minors 17 years and younger convicted
of DUI violations. Minors under the age
of 18 who have been convicted of any DUI violation are required to have their
driver licenses suspended or their privileges to drive a motor vehicle refused
for a period of two years, upon the receipt of conviction. However, there are currently no statutory provisions
that outline the procedure for suspending or revoking the driver license or
privilege to drive for a person between the ages of 18 and 20 convicted of a
DUI violation. This legislation
attempts to address this statutory discrepancy.
1. Requires The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to suspend or refuse to issue a driver license, for a period of two years, to a person of the age of 18, 19 or 20 who is convicted of a DUI violation.
2. Allows the court to use discretion in opting whether or not to allow a convicted 18, 19 or 20 year old to drive between home, school and work, depending upon the time of day, the person’s employment and the person’s school schedule.
3. Provides for a general effective date.
Amendments
Adopted by Judiciary Committee
1. Removes Ignition Interlock Device (IID) requirements and various other related provisions.
