What this bill does
The bill lets a court designate a person convicted of driving under the influence as an interdicted person, which bars them from buying alcohol for a period the court sets, and requires the court to do so for certain extreme DUI convictions. Interdicted people would get a special driver license or ID card with security features showing that status, and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Services would train staff to check for it.
