California Enacts 'Braun's Law' and Broader DUI Reforms to Target Repeat Offenders
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a package of four bills on Friday to increase penalties for repeat drunk driving in California. The centerpiece, 'Braun's Law' (SB 907), mandates formal warnings for drivers whose charges are reduced, allowing future murder charges if they cause a fatality. Other measures extend license revocations and elevate repeat offenses to felonies.
