Implied consent laws; authorize nonadjudication for violation under certain conditions.

HB 1615 would allow Mississippi courts to avoid formally convicting defendants for certain felony violations of implied consent laws (like refusing a breathalyzer test) if they complete court-approved treatment programs. It clarifies that misdemeanor implied consent violations must follow existing rules under Section 63-11-30, while felony cases could qualify for nonadjudication if the defendant successfully completes an intervention program certified by the Mississippi Administrative Office of Courts. The bill excludes repeat offenders, those charged with drug trafficking, and commercial drivers from this option. This proposed change did not advance beyond committee in 2025.
