SB422

Louisiana SB422 allows for unsupervised probation for fourth offense operating while impaired.

Louisiana SB422 amends the state's laws to allow for unsupervised probation for individuals convicted of a fourth offense of operating while impaired. This bill retains the existing penalties, including fines and imprisonment, but adds the option for unsupervised probation after the offender completes their incarceration, home incarceration, treatment program, supervised probation, or parole. The unsupervised probation period ends either upon the full term of the original sentence or 20 years from the date of sentencing, whichever is longer. Effective August 1, 2026.
