Prior DUI convictions from other states may not count as "prior offenses" in Kansas

Posted by Matt McLane | Nov 23, 2016 | 0 Comments

Prior Missouri DWI convictions will NOT be considered during sentencing on Kansas DUI convictions according to the recent Supreme Court case State v. Stanley. The Kansas DUI statute, 8-1567, is more narrow in its definition of "impairment" than the Missouri statute and therefore Kansas courts should not consider a Missouri conviction as a prior offense.
