Generally revise DUI penalties
This bill revises Montana's driving under the influence laws by amending the state code's general definitions section. It directly affects individuals charged with DUI offenses and legal professionals who interpret these statutes. The key mechanism involves updating the definitions of "felony" and "misconduct" within the code to clarify how penalties are applied. The bill does not change specific DUI penalties or create new offenses but rather refines the legal terminology used across multiple sections of the Montana Code.
