LC 3024 Legislature · 2025 Regular Session

Generally revise DUI laws

This bill revises Montana's driving under the influence laws by clarifying how prior offenses and pending charges are counted when determining penalties. It expands the definition of a "prior offense" to include cases currently pending in court, meaning individuals with active DUI charges will face stricter penalties as if they had previous convictions. The legislation also standardizes language by replacing "violation" with "offense" in certain sections and maintains existing sentencing guidelines that impose mandatory jail time and fines, with higher penalties for drivers who have minors in their vehicle.
