New Missouri DUI Laws Laid Out

New Missouri DUI laws have been laid out and can go into affect as early as tomorrow.

HB 62 – Crime Bill

Under this bill Missouri DUI offenders will be required to submit to chemical testing regardless if the offender is driving a vehicle.

Five Year Denial

Any person who is found guilty of two DUI offenses within 5 years will be denied a driver’s license for 5 years after. The person will also waive the right to be represented by an attorney in subsequent offenses.

Consent to Chemical Test

The chemical test laws have changed for individuals under the age of 21. Any person who is underage and purchases, possesses, or is under the influence of alcohol, will have given implied consent to a chemical test or breath test.

This last law seems to be the most extreme. Implied consent while driving has long been understood to mean that a person receives a privilege to operate a vehicle, and that privilege may be removed at will of the state. By signing a driver’s license application, the person agrees to submit a chemical test or forfeit their driving privileges.
