California AB1686 increases penalties for driving under the influence within 10 years of prior convictions.

California AB1686 amends the Vehicle Code to increase penalties for driving under the influence (DUI) if the offense occurs within 10 years of prior DUI convictions. A person convicted of a DUI within this period faces mandatory jail time and fines, with the potential for license suspension or revocation. The bill also allows courts to deny restricted licenses if the offender poses a safety risk. The changes apply to offenses occurring after the bill's effective date.
