- First time offenders charged with driving under the influence will not lose their license if it is their first offense and the BAC is below .10.
- An individual caught driving with a BAC between .08 percent and .10 percent may have his license suspended for a year. License suspension will only occur if an individual has a prior arrest for driving under the influence. An individual with a BAC of .10 percent to .159 percent will have his license suspended for one year on the first and second arrest. An individual with a BAC at .16 percent or higher will have his license suspended for one year if it is his first offense.
- An individual with a blood alcohol concentration between .10 percent and .159 percent may have her license suspended for 18 months. An 18-month suspension occurs if she has two or more prior DUI arrests.
