An act relating to enhanced penalties for a DUI resulting in injury or death to a minor

This bill proposes stricter penalties for individuals convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs when the accident causes injury or death to a minor under 18 years old. It directly affects drivers charged with DUI offenses that result in harm to children, requiring them to serve additional prison time beyond any other sentences they receive. Under the new provisions, drivers causing injury to a minor would face a minimum of five years in prison, while those causing death to a minor would face a minimum of 15 years in prison. The bill adds these enhanced penalties to existing DUI laws without changing how other offenses are punished.
