DUIs; authorize diversion for CDL holders who were operating vehicles that did not require a CDL at the time of offense.

SB 2411 would allow courts to avoid formally convicting commercial driver's license (CDL) holders for a first-time DUI offense if they were operating a non-commercial vehicle at the time of the offense. Currently, CDL holders are ineligible for nonadjudication (avoiding a conviction) even for first offenses, but this bill would expand eligibility to those not driving a vehicle requiring a CDL. The key provision amends Mississippi's DUI statute to remove the ineligibility for CDL holders in this specific scenario. This change would directly affect CDL holders who commit DUI while driving personal vehicles, potentially preventing a criminal record for their first offense. The bill died in committee and was never enacted.
