JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – The Missouri Senate has approved a bill requiring people with multiple drunken driving convictions to undergo criminal background checks before getting their license reinstated.

Under current law, a driver with two or more DUI convictions must wait 10 years after the latest conviction to ask for a new license.

Senate Bill 893 would require proof that the person has not been convicted of a crime involving drugs or alcohol in that 10-year period.

Convicted drivers would have to submit two sets of fingerprints and pay the cost of the background checks.

The measure now goes to the House.
