Revise DUI laws related to enacting Bobby's law
This bill creates a new criminal offense called aggravated vehicular homicide while under the influence, which applies to anyone who negligently causes death while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The law establishes mandatory prison sentences of 3 to 30 years and fines between $10,000 and $50,000 for convictions, with no option for deferred sentencing. The bill also amends existing Montana statutes to update definitions related to facial recognition technology, digital driver's licenses, and law enforcement agencies, though these changes appear unrelated to the DUI provisions.
