DUI: Stiffer Penalties In Pennsylvania
The legal consequences for repeatedly driving under the influence in Pennsylvania have become much more severe under a recent new law, which establishes the state’s first felony for DUI.
It applies when someone has been charged with a third offense in a decade with at least twice the legal limit for alcohol, or to any fourth-time offender.
The new law mandates longer jail time for those who unintentionally cause someone’s death because of a repeat DUI violation.
The stiffer penalties include increased fines and penalties for driving under the influence on a license suspended due to a DUI conviction.
