SB 2221 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

DUI; nonadjudication of a first offense for CDL holder who was not operating a commercial vehicle.

This bill allows first-time DUI offenders with a commercial driver's license (CDL) to have their offense kept off their record ("nonadjudicated") if they were not operating a commercial vehicle at the time of the arrest. It directly affects CDL holders charged with a first DUI who were driving a non-commercial vehicle. The key provision modifies existing law to exempt these drivers from the current rule that automatically disqualifies CDL holders from nonadjudication. The policy change applies only to first offenses and requires the driver not have been operating a commercial vehicle during the offense. The bill died in committee and did not become law.
