In California, the minimum penalty for a first-time misdemeanor DUI conviction is informal probation, fines and penalties and a three-month alcohol education program. The penalties vary from county to county. The alcohol education program is extended to a six month program if the defendant refused a chemical test or had a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .20 or higher.
