| Driving under the influence of alcohol - DUI - remains a pervasive problem in our area and throughout our state. For this reason, Pennsylvania legislators have proposed that judicial districts, with support from a statewide, court-appointed DUI court coordinator and an advisory committee, be permitted to establish DUI courts as a special criminal docket that admits defendants into alcohol treatment services and charges them a surcharge to be used to fund the courts and their treatment services.
The bill in question - House Bill 1919 P.N. 2565 - may or may not move forward, depending on how the house judiciary committee to which it was referred decides to act. But it is clear that despite its economic challenges, Pennsylvania remains focused on responding forcefully and effectively to DUI crimes.
