Hello!
To best of my understanding these degree ratings per DUI charge determine the level of punishment awaiting the charged individual. These degrees are dependent on the gravity of the charged individual’s actions while driving under the influence.
DUIs are misdemeanor charges, (unless a person is charged with a DUI for the third time, making it a felony) so these punishment could rate $1000 in fines and up to a year in county jail for a DUI to first degree, and a sixty day jail sentence and $500 in fines for a DUI to second degree.
First degrees are usually the ‘worst’ in terms of available fines and imprisonment time options.
I hope this was helpful!
