SB 1090 - This act modifies provisions relating to community service requirements for DWI offenders.

DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED (Section 577.010)

Under current law, a person found guilty of the offense of driving while intoxicated who is a prior offender shall not be granted parole or probation until he or she has served a minimum of ten days in prison unless, as a condition of such parole or probation, the person performs at least thirty days of community service.

This act modifies this provision to include that a person will perform at least thirty days "involving at least two hundred forty hours" of community service.

Under current law, a person found guilty of the offense of driving with excessive blood alcohol content who is a persistent offender shall not be granted parole or probation until he or she has served a minimum of thirty days in prison unless, as a condition of such parole or probation, the person performs at least sixty days of community service.

This act modifies this provision to include that a person will perform at least sixty days "involving at least four hundred eighty hours" of community service.

This act is identical to SB 213 (2021) and SB 1028 (2020) and similar to HB 1510 (2022).
