Under current law, the period of impoundment or immobilization is the period of license revocation imposed upon the person convicted of the OWI offense or 180 days, whichever period is longer. The bill increases the period to the period of license revocation imposed upon the person convicted of the OWI offense or one year, whichever period is longer.

The bill provides that the vehicle must also be seized and forfeited to the state upon conviction of the defendant for a first violation of operating a vehicle while that person’s driver’s license has been suspended, denied, revoked, or barred due to a second or subsequent OWI offense.4B.3 (conduct giving rise to forfeiture) for clarity and consistency.
