What are potential sentences for the SECOND DUI?
On the SECOND DUI conviction (within 10 years) a potential sentence includes attending an alcohol or drug program for 18-36 months, and a $390 to $1,000 fine, plus penalty assessments of an additional 180% of the fine; plus 96 hours to 1 year in jail. If probation is granted, a potential sentence also includes A) a 2-year license suspension OR, if the court allows, (B) after the first year of license suspension AND enrollment in the DUI program, a 1-year license restriction to and from work, during work, and to and from DUI program. If probation is not granted, a potential sentence also includes a 2-year license suspension, with no possibility of receiving a restricted license during that time. With or without probation, your vehicle may be impounded for 6 months, and you may be required to have a ignition interlock device on your car for up to three years.
