New law
contains tough penalties
for DUI deaths
Send a link to a friend
[JULY
23, 2003]
SPRINGFIELD -- A new
Illinois law ensures that drunk drivers who cause a death will serve
longer sentences, according to state Sen. Larry Bomke, a longtime
proponent of DUI laws and a sponsor of Senate Bill 96/Public Act
93-213.
|
Bomke, R-Springfield, sponsored the
bill because it strengthens penalties for drivers who drive drunk
and cause a fatal accident.
"A January Supreme Court decision
weakened sentences for these drivers because of a loophole in the
state reckless homicide laws," said Bomke. "Senate Bill 96 places
fatal DUI accidents under the aggravated DUI laws, triggering longer
sentences for drunk drivers who cause a fatality and even longer
sentences if two or more people die in a DUI-related crash."
The new law creates a new aggravating
factor to the existing DUI laws, making it a Class 2 felony to drive
under the influence and kill another person. A conviction carries a
prison sentence of three to 13 years for the death of one person and
not more than 26 years for the death of two or more persons.
Convicted offenders must serve at least 85 percent of their
sentence.
Senate Bill
96/Public Act 93-213 was signed into law July 18 and took effect
immediately.
