2003 Changes to Michigan's Drunk Driving Laws
( DWI / UBAL / OUIL / OWI / OUIN )
In July of 2003, the Michigan legislature passed and the Governor signed into law two bills designed to bring Michigan into compliance with the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's requirement that all states adopt a blood alcohol threshold of .08% for drunk driving offenses. Although the amendments make this change, they includes a number of other significant changes to the existing law. The following are some of the more significant changes.
NEW OFFENSE OF DRIVING WITH ANY AMOUNT
Bound to be one of the most controversial aspects of the new legislation, the statute now includes the offense of Operating with Any Amount of a Schedule 1 Controlled Substance (opiates, opium derivatives, hallucinogens, marijuana, GHB, and ecstasy) or cocaine in the blood stream. This part of the new statute has nothing to do with keeping impaired drivers off the road since most of these drugs can be found in the blood stream days after they were taken while the impairment is usually gone in hours. In fact, with a hair test, it is possible to find these substances in a person's body up to 90 days after the fact. Since the new statute prohibits a person from operating a vehicle if "the person has in his or her body any amount" of a controlled substance, this is presumably not limited to breath, blood or urine. The new offense is treated the same as Operating While Intoxicated in terms of jail time, fines, costs, community service, and licensing sanctions.
The new statute slightly changes the presumption regarding a person's blood alcohol level at the time of the offense. The old law allowed, but did not require, the fact finder to presume that a person's BAC at the time of testing was the same as it was at the time of driving. The new law makes that presumption mandatory. While the presumption-like any other legal presumption-may be overcome, it now appears to be the defendant's burden to disprove the assumption by affirmative evidence.
MINOR TRANSPORTING ALCOHOL - IMPOUNDING OWNER'S VEHICLE
Within 30 days of a minor's conviction for transporting alcohol in a motor vehicle, the arresting officer may make a complaint against the owner of the vehicle to show cause why the vehicle should not be impounded. If the court determines that the vehicle was being driven with the express or implied consent of the owner (whether or not the owner knew the minor was transporting alcohol), and if the court determines that the vehicle is not needed by the owner in the direct pursuit of the owner's employment, the court may order the vehicle impounded for a minimum of 15 days and a maximum of 30 days.
