Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would place alcohol purchase restrictions on two groups of people: those convicted of a fourth or more DUI offense, and those convicted of causing a death while driving under the influence. To enforce this, their driver's licenses would be marked with the words "No Alcohol Sale" and a red stripe, and it would become illegal for anyone to sell or distribute alcohol to those individuals. Who it may affect: people with multiple DUI convictions, people convicted of causing a death while driving under the influence, and alcohol retailers required to check for restricted licenses.
