Caitlin's Law: strengthen penalties for repeat DUI offenders

Governor Jeff Colyer today signed HB 2439, also known as "Caitlin's Law" into law, joined by members of the Vogel family. The legislation is named for Caitlin Vogel who was tragically killed in 2016 by a repeat offender drunk driver in Johnson County.

"What happened to Caitlin was a terrible but preventable tragedy and we must do whatever we can as a government to try and prevent such deaths from happening in the future" said Governor Colyer.

The bill, which passed both legislative chambers unanimously, strengthens penalties for repeat DUI offenders who kill or seriously injure others.
