LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1168, as amended, Kaloogian. Vehicles: driving under the influence:
profile.

(1) Under existing law, a person who is convicted of driving a vehicle
while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, any drug, or both,
driving with an excessive blood-alcohol concentration, or driving when
addicted to any drug, is required to be punished by specified
imprisonment and fines. The punishment is enhanced upon the 2nd and
subsequent convictions occurring within 7 years.

This bill would, with respect to a person who is convicted of a 2nd or
subsequent violation, require a court to cause a copy of the person’s
profile, as specified, to be published, to pay the costs associated with
that publication, and notify the Department of Justice of that conviction
and to require that person to pay a $50 $100 fee to be used to pay the
costs incurred by court personnel in administering this provision,
thereby creating a state-mandated local program. The bill would require
the Department of Justice to cause a copy of the person’s profile to be
published, as prescribed.

(2) 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,
including the creation of a State Mandates Claims Fund to pay the costs
of mandates that do not exceed $1,000,000 statewide and other procedures
for claims whose statewide costs exceed $1,000,000.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory
provisions.
