IN RE: | HB192 by Dutton (Relating to convictions considered for purposes of enhancing the punishment for certain intoxication offenses.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Penal Code to prohibit previous convictions for certain intoxication offenses from qualifying for penalty enhancement purposes if the previous offenses associated with prior convictions took place more than 10 years before the date of the current offense. This analysis assumes the provisions of the bill would not result in a significant impact on state correctional agencies.
