Gilbert EPD-ADM 2/3/2009 Pri 2 Yes YesV. C7 Support Comments: We support this bill, which would increase the penalty for Assault III if the assault resulted from the operation of a motor vehicle while DUII. The DUII problem continues to have a tragic effect on communities throughout this state. We know that locally with the recent very tragic collision at 11th and Bertelsen resulting in the loss of four innocent lives and devastating injuries suffered by a fifth.

To increase this to a B Felony would be a positive step in holding accountable those who chose to ignore the dangers of drinking and driving and end up injuring others in the process.
