Bill Advances Increasing ‘Look Back’ Period for Arkansas DWI

Legislation will increase time window when looking at repeat drunk driving offenses.

The state House Judiciary Committee advanced a bill on Tuesday calling for a longer ‘look back’ period in cases of repeat offenders for driving while intoxicated in Arkansas. Under current AR DWI law, a person convicted of a second or subsequent drunk driving offense within 5 years is subject to enhanced penalties. The new legislation extends that period to 10 years.

The measure now heads to the full House for debate and vote.
