Rep. Andrew Stoddard (D)

HB 273 (Sentencing Modifications for Certain DUI Offenses)

Libertas Institute opposes this bill.

This bill modifies provisions related to negligently operating a vehicle resulting in death. It renames the offense and creates a sentencing guideline for automobile homicide.

Libertas opposes this bill, as these guidelines and limitations on alternative sentencing options could lead to unjust outcomes and undermine the principle of proportionality in punishment.
