New Hampshire DWI Laws: New DWI Arraignment Law RSA 265-A:3-a

New Hampshire DWI laws.  Effective January 1, 2013, a new "New Hampshire DWI Arraignment Law" went into effect in New Hampshire.  This new law requires that drivers accused of DWI in New Hampshire be arraigned within 14 days.  As usual, the offense of DWI has been targeted and singled out, with a new law with an unclear goal.  There is no stated purpose for it, and no remedy if it doesn't happen.  Here is the law:

RSA 265-A:3-a.  Arraignment.

To the extent practicable, a law enforcement officer charging a person with violating RSA 265-A:2 or RSA 265-A:3 shall schedule an arraignment on such charge to take place no later than 14 business days after the date of the violation.


Effective January 1, 2013.
