AN ACT CONCERNING BAIL AND PENALTIES FOR OFFENDERS WHO DRIVE UNDER THE INFLUENCE.

HB 6360 modifies DUI penalties by revoking bail if an offender causes a death while driving under the influence. It treats second DUI offenses as premeditated, increasing penalties and reducing opportunities for early release from prison. For repeat offenders whose victim dies, the bill mandates that the offense be prosecuted as first-degree manslaughter under existing homicide laws. These changes directly affect individuals convicted of multiple DUI offenses, particularly those involving fatalities.
