Committee confirms DUI-related convictions language aligns with H.44 and adjusts notice procedures
Summary
Members reviewed definitions of conviction across titles, confirmed no conflict with changes in H.44 (DUI bill), and reviewed two notice-related changes: one requiring a copy of suspension notices be sent to DMV in H.44 and another removing language that a notice of intent serves as a temporary license.
The committee examined several sections of S.123 that interact with DUI-related statutory language and with H.44, the separate DUI bill.
Committee staff reported cross-checks with judiciary staff and said the definition of “conviction” in Title 23 aligns with proposed changes in Title 4 as enacted by H.44. Staff noted one H.44 change the committee does not duplicate: H.44 would require that when a notice of suspension is sent to a defendant it also be sent to the commissioner of motor vehicles. That addition appears in H.44 and was not in S.123; staff said the two measures would not conflict.
The committee also reviewed Section 32, which would revise the notice of intent to suspend so that the form does not state it serves as a temporary operator’s license; H.44 does not address that subsection, and staff said there is no conflict. Committee members said they had consulted judiciary staff and suggested the language in both bills will mesh as drafted.
Ending: The committee checked the related sections and indicated those parts of S.123 can proceed, noting H.44 contains a related mailing requirement and the changes do not conflict.
