BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has signed legislation that will seal the court records of convicted drunken drivers if they aren’t charged with another DUI or any other crime for seven years.
Burgum signed the legislation Wednesday.
Devils Lake Republican Rep. Dennis Johnson sponsored the bipartisan bill. He says it aims to give convicted drunken drivers who stay out of trouble better odds of getting a job.
The bill does not apply to licensed commercial drivers.
