Commercial driver's license; remove prohibition for nonadjudication of.
HB 653 removes a restriction preventing commercial drivers from having first-time DUI offenses (with a blood alcohol concentration of .04% or higher) handled without a conviction. This change allows courts to use nonadjudication - similar to what's already available for non-commercial drivers - meaning a commercial driver could avoid a formal conviction for a first offense if eligible. The bill specifically affects commercial drivers convicted of DUI at the .04% threshold, not changing the BAC limit itself. The bill died in committee in February 2025 and did not become law.
