How Are Convicted Offenders Punished?

There are a number of different factors that play into DUI penalties – the driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC), any prior convictions, and whether anyone was injured by the offense. Prior DUI convictions do count against drivers in Illinois, even if they occurred 20 years ago, and can make the penalties significantly more severe.

For a first offense, penalties can include:

Up to one year in jail
Up to $2,500 in fines
License suspension for a minimum of one year
Mandatory interlock ignition device (IID)

Offenders may also be required to attend alcohol abuse counseling and pay additional fines to have their license reinstated.

These penalties can make it difficult to fulfill necessary obligations, such as going to work each day, and are often much more costly than offenders realize.
