Drivers under the age of 21 are deemed to be under the influence at .02 breath or blood alcohol level.

Commercial Vehicle Drivers

Commercial vehicle drivers operating commercial vehicles are deemed to be under the influence at a breath or blood alcohol level of .04. Commercial vehicle operators may also be placed out of service for 24 hours for any detectable amount of alcohol or controlled substance in their system.

DUI Alcohol Programs

The Division of Substance Abuse regulates a statewide network of 100+ Driving Under the Influence (DUI) programs licensed and certified to provide alcohol and other drug assessments, education and treatment services to persons convicted of DUI.

The programs provide an assessment of your alcohol or other substance abuse problems at the start of the program.
