Item 3: Action on Non-Unanimous IGR Positions

Home Browse Search

The original bill increased the penalty for Assault III only for two sets of circumstances by which that crime could be committed if it was caused by a person operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicants. The amended version expands that enhancement to other sets of circumstances included in the statute (e.g., recklessly causing physical injury to another by means of a deadly or dangerous weapon under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life). We believe that, if a person chooses to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence and subsequently injures a person, the driver should be subject to the enhanced penalty. We believe that this will help to prevent some instances of people electing to do so and, in cases where they opt to drive anyway and cause injury, the change in the law will allow the court to impose a more appropriate sanction.
