Effective August 1, 2012, if you get a reduction or plea bargain from DUI or Physical Control to Reckless Driving you will now get credit on a day-to-day basis toward any administrative suspension from the same incident. Under current law, you could have two (2) separate suspensions "90 days or more for the administrative" (depending on history) and a "30 day suspension" for reckless driving.
You would then be required to get the ignition interlock license (IIL) for the DOL administrative suspension and the occupational restricted license (ORL) for the reckless driving conviction. Whereas, if you were convicted of DUI - you would get credit and need only the IIL. This legislation fixed this bizarre result and discrepancy.
