Jail: BAC Per Se: 1st offense: No less than one day nor more than one year imprisonment. Imprisonment may not be suspended or deferred unless the court finds that imprisonment would impose a substantial risk to the offender’s physical or mental well-being. Instead of imprisonment, the court may order a 15-day electronic home monitoring (EHM) device be installed at the offender’s expense. EHM may also include an alcohol detection breathalyzer.
Washington DUI Fines/Costs:
BAC Per se: Not less than $350 nor more than $5,000.
In addition:
A $125 fee is assessed to a person who is either convicted, sentenced to a lesser charge, or given deferred prosecution, as a result of an arrest. The fee goes to the WA State Toxicology Laboratory.
A $500 fee is assessed to support the victim’s compensation fund and an assessment of 60% of the fine imposed to fund safety and education programs.
