Mississippi SB2221 allows nonadjudication for a first DUI offense for CDL holders not operating commercial vehicles.
Mississippi SB2221 amends the state's DUI laws to permit nonadjudication of a first DUI offense for commercial driver's license (CDL) holders who were not operating a commercial vehicle at the time of the offense. Nonadjudication means the court withholds adjudication of guilt and sentencing, placing the offender in a program with specific conditions. If the offender successfully completes the program, the charges are dismissed, and penalties are not imposed. The bill specifies that CDL holders are ineligible for nonadjudication if they were operating a commercial vehicle during the offense.
