An Act To Allow for Accurate Credit for a License Suspension for Operating under the Influence
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 29-A MRSA §2413, sub-§3, as repealed and replaced by PL 2005, c. 683, Pt. B, §23, is amended to read:
 
3. Penalties.   In addition to any other penalty, the court shall suspend the driver's license of a person convicted under subsection 1 for not less than 30 days nor more than 180 days, which minimum may not be suspended. In addition to any other penalty, the court shall suspend the driver's license of a person convicted under subsection 1-A for not less than 180 days nor more than 2 years, which minimum may not be suspended. If the court fails to suspend the license, the Secretary of State shall impose the minimum period of suspension. The court shall impose a sentencing alternative that involves a fine of not less than $575, which may not be suspended. If a person's license is suspended under section 2453 or 2453-A arising out of the same occurrence, the period of time the license has been suspended under section 2453 or 2453-A prior to conviction must be deducted from the period of suspension under this subsection.
 
Effective 90 days following adjournment of the 128th Legislature, First Regular Session, unless otherwise indicated.
