New DWI laws have come into effect for the New Year in Louisiana.
The new law has first-time drunk driving offenders facing a minimum of a $300
fine, as well as 10 days in jail.
State Representative, Wesley Bishop, stated, “With the
change in this particular law, you have a situation in which 10 days goes from
being the fix number of days to being the minimum number of days. So now it
goes from 10 days to possibly six months as it relates to jail time.”
The new laws now will now have a higher fine for a higher
blood alcohol content and more time behind bars.
