SB 37 - No court of law may accept a plea bargain or
sentence a defendant in an intoxication-related traffic offense
unless the court has first reviewed the criminal history of the
defendant. The criminal record search is expanded. Also, the
defendant shall have a duty to inform the court of any prior
intoxication-related traffic offenses. Failure to so inform the
court is a Class A Misdemeanor.
