THE NEW KANSAS DRUNK DRIVING LAW: A CLOSER LOOK
The new law's approach is two-fold: first, tougher penalties, including mandatory jail sentences, are required; and second, the law focuses on the effective enforcement and administration of these penalties. This Comment examines the new law, significant changes from the former law, and practical considerations presented by these changes. Then, it discusses likely constitutional challenges to the new law and whether it can withstand these challenges.
