The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation $1.2 million under the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated federal grant program (CFDA 20.608). The four-year formula grant will support alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures in Hawaii from October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026. As a condition of receiving funding under Section 164 of Title 23 of the U.S. Code, states must enact and enforce repeat intoxicated driver laws establishing specified penalties for repeat offenders, including minimum imprisonment terms, license suspensions or revocations, and ignition interlock installation. The funding will allow Hawaii to maintain conforming legal penalties for repeat drunk driving while supporting countermeasure programs to reduce impaired driving incidents and associated costs through the grant performance period.
