New Hampshire SB620 amends penalties for aggravated driving while intoxicated and refusal of consent to testing.

New Hampshire SB620 amends RSA 265-A to modify penalties for aggravated driving while intoxicated (DWI) and refusal of consent to testing. For first-time refusals of consent to testing, the driver's license or privilege to drive is suspended for 9 months. For those with prior convictions, the license is revoked for at least 18 months, extendable up to 2 years. Aggravated DWI convictions now carry a 3-year license suspension or denial of issuance, a fine of at least $750, and a mandatory 17-day county correctional facility sentence, all of which may be suspended.
