DUIs are taken very seriously in the State of Connecticut. Multiple DUIs are almost always taken more seriously than first-time DUIs. The reasoning of the law is to discourage repeat instances of a behavior that may endanger the lives of others, regardless of intention.
As a result, available sentencing for a second DUI is worse than available sentencing for a first-time DUI.
In the State of Connecticut, a second DUI is a felony charge. If convicted, you will have a felony on your record, which can pose a host of additional challenges. These include employment issues, public program and housing access issues, and the loss of the right to vote, among others. In addition to felony status, consequences for a second DUI within 10 years of a first DUI can include:
• Jail time (with a 120-day mandatory minimum, and a maximum of up to 2 years)
• Mandatory alcohol and/or drug treatment
• Fines of up to $4,000
• Minimum 45-day license suspension
• Three years with an Interlock device
• 100+ hours of community service
• Revocation of commercial driver’s license, if applicable.
If this is your third or subsequent DUI charge, those penalties can be even more severe. Like a second DUI offense, a third or subsequent DUI is a felony, and being convicted of those charges comes with all of the complications associated with a felony conviction. Additional sentences for a third or subsequent DUI in Connecticut include:
• $2,000 to $8,000 in fines, in addition to any court costs and fees.
• 1 to 3 years in prison (with a 1-year mandatory minimum sentence)
• Automatic license revocation (with appeals available after two years)
• Probation (usually at least 2 years from prison release date)
