During the last Legislative session in Olympia, lawmakers made some changes in the impaired-driving laws, impacting those accused of driving under the influence (DUI), physical control, vehicular assault when DUI, and vehicular homicide when DUI. One of the changes went into effect July 22, known as “Hailey’s Law”. The law requires the mandatory impound and hold of a vehicle when the driver is arrested for DUI or physical control.
