SB 907: Driving under the influence and other driving offenses: comprehensive reform.
This bill aims to reform driving offenses in California by expanding the definition of a violent felony to include vehicular manslaughter and gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. It would also impose enhanced penalties for certain driving under the influence offenses, including increased terms of imprisonment and mandatory local programs. The bill would require courts to advise defendants of the dangers of their actions and provide information about potential future consequences. Additionally, it would create a system for reimbursement of local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. The bill would also provide that no reimbursement is required for a specified reason.
