What are the penalties for a second DUI in Rhode Island?

A second-offense Rhode Island DUI within ten years - the lookback doubled from five years to ten on July 1, 2025 - carries up to 1 year jail with a 10-day mandatory minimum sentence, fines from $400 to $1,000, license suspension of 1 to 2 years, mandatory ignition interlock for 1 year after suspension ends, and required substance abuse treatment. The penalty floor is significantly higher than a first offense. Driving on a suspended license adds additional jail time and extends the suspension further. The 10-day mandatory minimum cannot be suspended by the judge.
