Traditional Sentencing
On September 30, 2003 Pennsylvania’s revised the legal limit of alcohol from .10 to .08. The new Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Law created a tiered approach toward DUI enforcement and treatment, and includes many changes to the penalties, terms of suspension, fines and other requirements. The combination of an individual’s Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) level, and prior offenses, determines the licensing requirements and penalties. The new law focuses on treatment for first-time DUI offenders, rather than strictly punishment and suspension.
Individuals choosing Traditional Sentencing must pay the DUI Program Fee prior to scheduling and completing the Alcohol Highway Safety School Program. The Blair County DUI Coordinator will send them an invoice with the appropriate program fee. The Blair County DUI Program accepts cash/check/money order.
The CRN must be completed prior to sentencing and scheduling AHSS.
