An Act increasing the liability for permitting an intoxicated arrestee to operate a motor vehicle
This bill requires law enforcement to impound vehicles for at least 12 hours when a person is arrested for driving under the influence (DUI). It mandates that officers provide a written warning to anyone summoned to transport the arrestee, explaining potential criminal and civil liability if they allow the impaired person to drive. Vehicles can only be released if the owner presents a valid license, proof of insurance, or meets other conditions set by law enforcement. The law directly affects individuals who arrange transportation for DUI arrestees and requires law enforcement agencies to follow specific procedures for vehicle impoundment and release.
