House Bill 267 introduces the crime of "aggravated vehicular homicide while under the influence," which is defined as causing the death of another person while operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The bill removes the requirement that the act be committed "negligently" and clarifies that this offense is not categorized under deliberate homicide. Penalties for this new crime include a mandatory prison term of 3 to 30 years and fines ranging from $10,000 to $50,000, with restrictions on deferring sentences or suspending the first three years of imprisonment, except under specific conditions. The bill also amends existing laws related to DUI penalties, imposing stricter consequences for repeat offenders and emphasizing mandatory participation in treatment programs.

Furthermore, the bill modifies implied consent laws regarding blood and breath tests, detailing the circumstances under which testing can be requested by peace officers and the repercussions of refusing such tests, including automatic license suspension. It mandates that a driver's license seized for DUI-related reasons be sent to the licensing authority of the nonresident's home state, along with a report of the refusal to submit to testing. The legislation aims to enhance public safety by imposing stricter penalties for DUI offenses and ensuring compliance with testing protocols, while also clarifying that certain medical tests and information release for law enforcement purposes are not restricted by these provisions.
