Legislature

Whew, it is all over. It has been an honor to work with the General Assembly this year on DUI legislation. We had great sponsors, great ideas and very nice results. More will be posted Monday. We did a lot to fix some long time problems that delayed the resolution of DUI cases like counting prior convictions based on the conviction date of the current arrest, delay in taking the license of the offender, repeated dangerous driving on bond and after multiple convictions and the lack of of a DUI definition that included substances and drugs of different types. The public chapters of new legislation will be posted on our website Monday.
It doesn't hurt that the Legislature this year left the statutory pay adjustment in place and didn't cut pay this time around.
