AB 2690, as amended, Mullin. begin deleteRegional transportation plan. end deletebegin insertDriving under the influence.end insert

begin insert

Existing law makes it a crime to operate a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and sets forth the penalties for a violation of these provisions. Existing law provides that a person who is guilty of driving under the influence or driving under the influence causing injury, is subject to enhanced penalties if the current offense occurred within 10 years of a prior conviction that was punished as a felony for driving under the influence, driving under the influence causing injury, or vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would instead authorize those enhanced penalties for a current conviction for driving under the influence or driving under the influence causing injury that occurs within 10 years of a separate conviction that was punished as a felony for driving under the influence, driving under the influence causing injury, or vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence.

end insert
begin insert

By changing the scope of penalties for existing crimes, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

end insert
begin insert

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

end insert
begin insert

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.

Existing law creates the Metropolitan Transportation Commission as the transportation planning agency for the 9-county Bay Area, with various transportation planning and programming responsibilities. Existing law requires each transportation planning agency to develop and adopt a regional transportation plan. Existing law requires the commission, when developing the regional transportation plan for the Bay Area region, to consider various matters as well as the plans of other agencies.
