An Act increasing the liability for permitting an intoxicated arrestee to operate a motor vehicle
This bill requires law enforcement to warn individuals who transport or accompany an arrested drunk driver about the legal risks of letting them drive again. It mandates that these transporters sign a written acknowledgment of the warning, while exempting medical professionals from this requirement. Additionally, the law sets a minimum 12-hour impound period for vehicles driven by intoxicated arrestees and outlines the documentation needed to retrieve them.
