7/20/09-Gov. Bobby Jindal has signed a bill into law that calls for people caught driving with a suspended license after a DWI conviction to serve at least 15 days in jail. The sentencing judge could impose a sentence of up to six months behind bars.
Previously SB166, the new law specifies that if the license has been suspended for a death related to a DWI, a mandatory 60-day jail sentence is required, with a maximum of six months.
It took effect immediately.
