DUI License Suspensions May Get Tougher in Kansas

A Kansas legislative committee is considering a proposal to impose longer license suspensions on drunk drivers whose BAC exceeds certain levels. Under the proposal, a first-time DUI offender would receive twice the standard license suspension if his BAC was .16 or greater. Three offenses at the higher level would result in permanant revocation of driving privileges.

The Kansas Court of Appeals recently affirmed that the state can suspend a driver's license even if he has not been convicted of DUI.
