If you get a second DUI and your first was an ARD, you are in luck as the SUpreme Court has ruled it won't count!
Conclusion: What Does Rollins Mean for Defendants? The Rollins ruling ensures that § 1543(b)(1)(i) remains constitutional, closing the door on broad challenges based on vagueness. However, it also sets a clear maximum penalty, preventing excessively long sentences beyond what is permissible under Pennsylvania law. For individuals facing charges under § 1543(b)(1)(i), the key takeaway is that the mandatory minimums are unavoidable, but the maximum sentence is now firmly capped at 90 days (for a first offense) or one year (for repeat offenses). Understanding this range can help in structuring an effective legal defense strategy to minimize jail time where possible.
