How DUI Risk Classification Affects Your Reinstatement

Before your hearing, an alcohol and drug evaluation will be performed by a licensed counselor. The result of that evaluation determines your risk classification, which in turn determines what treatment requirements you must complete and what type of hearing you will need:

• Minimal Risk: Typically first-time DUI with BAC below 0.15%. Requires 10 hours of DUI risk education. May be eligible for an informal hearing.
• Moderate Risk: First-time DUI with BAC between 0.15% and 0.19%, or refusal to test. Requires 10 hours of DUI risk education and 12 hours of early intervention. A formal hearing is typically required.
• Significant Risk: Second DUI offense or first offense with BAC of 0.20% or higher. Requires 10 hours of risk education and 20 hours of substance abuse treatment, plus a continuing care plan.
• High Risk: Three or more DUI-related offenses in the past 10 years, or an evaluation showing alcohol or drug dependence. Requires at least 75 hours of substance abuse treatment and active participation in a continuing care plan.
