By RICK M. GREEN Capitol Bureau rmgreen@oklahoman.comA bill signed into law by Gov. Mary Fallin on Monday closes a loophole that allows some repeat drunken drivers to avoid the full consequences of their actions. Under present law, most municipalities do not have courts of records and only handle misdemeanors. That means somebody could have multiple impaired driving charges in cities and towns throughout the state, but records would not be kept on the outcome of these cases and the charges would not escalate into felonies. These people might also avoid the chance of being diverted into a court-ordered alcohol treatment program.
