Penalties for Out-of-State DUI

Our state participates in the nationwide Driver License Compact, a compact in which information is exchanged inter-state when traffic offenses such as DUI take place. You will be required to serve the penalties for a DUI conviction once you return to your home state if you are not successfully defended.

A first time DUI offense in our state has penalties ranging from a $250 minimum fine, driver's license suspension for 1 year following an administrative license suspension for 7 days with the possibility of obtaining a restricted license, possible attendance of an Alcohol Safety Action Program, and the requirement to install an ignition interlock device in any vehicle you drive, and possibly payment of any court-ordered restitution.
