UNDER THE INFLUENCE CRIMES | ||
| ||
By: Christopher Reinhart, Senior Attorney | ||
You asked for a list of statutes with criminal penalties for actions taken under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Using a Judicial Branch database, we found a number of statutes with criminal penalties for actions taken while someone is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These cover driving, flying, boating, and hunting. The chart below displays these statutes in numerical order. It does not include information on license suspensions that may apply.
In the chart, “Type” refers to whether the penalty is a misdemeanor (M) or felony (F). “Class” refers to whether the penalty is a classified misdemeanor (class A, B, or C), a classified felony (class A, B, C, or D), or an unclassified penalty. SBS refers to a subsequent conviction under the statute. C/U refers to a construction or utility zone.
