HB 1703 -- Persistent Intoxication-Related Traffic Offenders

Sponsor:  Bruns

This bill requires any prior or persistent offender of an
intoxication-related traffic offense to abstain from consuming or
using alcohol or alcohol products, as demonstrated by continuous
alcohol monitoring, for a certain period of time before the
person will be eligible for parole or probation.

"Continuous alcohol monitoring" is defined as the automatic
testing of breath, blood, or transdermal alcohol concentration
levels and tamper attempts at least once every hour, regardless
of the monitored person's location, and the regular transmission
of the data.

The court is allowed to suspend execution of a portion of the
term of imprisonment for any aggravated or chronic offender if
the person abstains for a period of time from consuming or using
alcohol or alcohol products as demonstrated by continuous alcohol
monitoring.
