Title

Driving under the influence, Alabama Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund, make fine imposed for DUI violation mandatory, Sec. 32-5A-191 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, the punishment for driving under the influence includes fines and imprisonment. The law requires that $100 of the fine, minus administrative costs, be deposited in the Alabama Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund.

However, a court may waive the fine.

This bill would make the imposition of the $100 fine allocated to the Alabama Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund mandatory so that it may not be waived by a court.
