AN ACT INCREASING THE PENALTY FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF INTOXICATING LIQUOR OR ANY DRUG.
SB 1149 increases penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs by amending Connecticut's existing DUI statute (Section 14-227a). This bill directly affects drivers convicted of operating a motor vehicle while impaired by intoxicating liquor, drugs, or with elevated blood alcohol content. The key mechanism is raising the legal consequences for these offenses, though specific penalty details like fines or jail terms aren't provided in the bill text.
