California AB1546 amends vehicle code penalties for DUI offenses, especially for repeat offenders.

California AB1546 amends the state's vehicle code to increase penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) offenses, particularly for repeat offenders. If a person is convicted of a DUI within 10 years of three or more prior DUI convictions, they face imprisonment and fines. The bill also enhances penalties for DUI offenses involving minors and those who drive with suspended or revoked licenses. It introduces stricter measures for habitual traffic offenders and modifies the conditions for obtaining a Good Driver Discount policy.
