Community service of 40 hours will also be required and the privilege to operate a motor vehicle may be suspended for 90 days to six months.

If a repeat violation occurrs within 5 years of the date of a prior offense it will result in imprisonment in a county jail for not less than 30 days nor more than 6 months and there will be a specified fine. -AB 1325
