While new bills have been implemented to keep track of and further penalize drivers convicted of driving under the influence, California assembly members have proposed more legislation that targets DUI offenders for harsher penalties in an effort to keep other drivers safe on the road. This proposed legislation includes a harsher penalty for first-time offenders, recognizing repeat DUI offenses as a felony, and adopting more advanced DUI training for police officers.
