Tighten Laws On Drunken Driving Charges "Fines up to SIO,OOO and a fixed two year jail term are possible for Indiana motorists who are convicted of drunk driving resulting in the death of another individual under the new criminal code effective July 1 of this year,” Ralph VanNatta. Commissioner of the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, noted today while speaking at a conference of Indiana traffic court judges meeting at the Ramada Inn in Nashville, Indiana. VanNatta explained that these penalties were only a segment of the massive revision of all penalties for felony and misdemeanor arrests in the state's criminal code. The revised criminal code was enacted by the 1978 General Assembly with most of its provisions effective July 1 of this year. Though the possible penalties for almost all traffic offenses were increased by the revised criminal code. VanNatta. because of its impact upon traffic safety, specifically singled out the changes in the state s drunk driving laws Under the old law a distinction was drawn between an individual s first and subsequent drunk driving convictions within any three year period. The initial conviction for drunk-driving carried a fine of not less than $25.00 nor more than $500.00, a jail term of not less than 5 days nor more than b months and suspension of the individual's dri ver’s license from bO days to 1 year This initial suspension could be waived in favor of a probationary period in which the court was granted discretion in establishing the restrictions upon the individual’s driving ability. Second conviction penalties were heavier calling for fines of not less than $250.00 nor more than $1.000.00, a jail term of not less than 5 days nor more than I year and suspension of the individual s driver’s license for not less than I year nor more than 2 years. No probationary period was granted for any subsequent drunk driving convictions. If the offense of drunk driving resulted in the death of another individual. the old law provided for a fine of not less than $250.00 nor more than ss,ooo.oocombined with a jail term of not less than I year or more than 2 years and a 1 to 2 year suspension of the individual's driver’s license. The new law abolishes the dil ferences between first and subsequent drunk driving convictions. Now, any conviction of drunk driving not resulting in the death of another individual could result in a fine of not more than $5,000.00. a

jail term of not more than 1 year and suspension of the individual's driver's license for not less than 60 days nor more than 2 years. Again, an initial drunk driving suspension , may be waived in favor of a probationary period. However, the ( courts' discretion in establishing the restrictions upon an individu- I al's driving ability is now exclusively limited to necessity driving associated with the individual's employment. Stiffer penalties have also been extended to drunk driving convictions resulting in the death of another individual; where, as already noted, the maximum Tine has been extended to SIO,OOO. The changes in the state's drunk driving laws give trial court judges wider discretion in handling such cases in their communities. "That is where the problem will be solved in the long run — not at the state level," VanNatta pointed out. "The Bureau may not fine a driver nor impose a jail term upon a driver. It may only suspend a driver’s license based upon the local traffic courts' convictions. And if the person continues to drive it is up to the local court to enforce the Bureas's suspension by imposing the proper additional penalty," he added. In order to assist the local courts in implementing the probationary provisions of the new drunk driving law. Commissioner VanNatta stated. "the Bureau will request that the regular driver’s license of the individual placed on probation for drunk driving be impounded by the court fhc Bureau, to facilitate the transfer of information between the courts and the Bureau, also will provide all traffic courts with forms for requesting a probationary license and specifically noting all restrictions to be placed on that license. Both the impounded regular driver's license and the request for probationary license shall be forwarded to the Bureau. Drivers placed on probation by a court will subsequently receive from the Bureau a restricted license mdicat ing all terms of the court imposed probation. A copy of the request for probationary license may be issued by the court to the driver to be utilized by that driver until the probationary license is received from the Bureau. The driver may apply to the Bureau for the reinstatement of his regular license when the terms of the probation have been met " VanNatta further stated, "any violation of the probation will be reported by the Bureau to the appropriate court of record so that action may be taken in accordance with the Court's statutory directive." The Commissioner estimated.

"10.000 probationary drunk driving licenses will probably be issued annually." "Court costs are also increased for drunk driving as well as all traffic convictions. An additional $10.50 will be collected for the Victims Compensation Fund under another new law. This additional cost will be tacked on to the court costs which currently range from $32.(X) to $46.00 in most Indiana counties." Commissioner VanNatta noted. " 1 he traffic offenses which concern the average driver have also been affected by the revision of the criminal code." VanNatta noted. Most traffic offenses under the old criminal code had a fine of up to SIOO.OO and 10 days in jail for a first offense; a fine of up to $200.(X) and 20 days in jail for a second offense; and up to SS(X).(X) and 6 months in jail for a third offense within a 12-month period. Under the revised law most of the traffic offenses will be considered a Class C misdemeanor with a maximum $500.00 fine and up to 6 months in jail regardless of the number of convictions. "Again, the traffic court is given greater sentencing discretion especially on first and second convictions," VanNatta pointed out. "The Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
