The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration awarded $2.88 million to the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute under the Minimum Penalties for Repeat Offenders for Driving While Intoxicated federal grant program (CFDA 20.608) for the period of October 1, 2022 through September 30, 2026. The funding supports the Section 164 Transfer Program: Repeat Intoxicated Driver, which aims to encourage states to enact and enforce laws establishing minimum penalties for repeat drunk driving offenses. Specifically, the grant funds will be used to support alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures in Indiana given the state's failure to enact and enforce conforming laws for repeat intoxicated drivers, helping the state avoid the transfer of federal highway funds as stipulated under Section 164. The sub-awardee, the Judiciary Courts of the State of Indiana operating through the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, will deliver the countermeasure programs and services funded by this $2.88 million formula grant award.
