Kansas Laws for Past DUI Convictions

Kansas poses serious penalties for anyone convicted of a DUI charge with a previous DUI conviction on their record.

In order to be subject to the enhancement penalties that come with a multiple DUI conviction, only convictions after July 1, 2001 will be considered.
