23536
. (a) If a person is convicted of a first violation of Section
23152, that person shall be punished by imprisonment in the county
jail for not less than 96 hours, at least 48 hours of which shall be
continuous, nor more than six months, and by a fine of not less than
three hundred ninety dollars ($390), nor more than one thousand
dollars ($1,000).
(b) The court shall order that a person punished under subdivision
(a), who is to be punished by imprisonment in the county jail, be
imprisoned on days other than days of regular employment of the
person, as determined by the court. If the court determines that 48
hours of continuous imprisonment would interfere with the person's
work schedule, the court shall allow the person to serve the
imprisonment whenever the person is normally scheduled for time off
from work. The court may make this determination based upon a
representation from the defendant's attorney or upon an affidavit or
testimony from the defendant.
(c) The person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle shall be
suspended by the department under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of
Section 13352 or Section 13352.1. The court shall require the person
to surrender the driver's license to the court in accordance with
Section 13550.
(d) Whenever, when considering the circumstances taken as a whole,
the court determines that the person punished under this section
would present a traffic safety or public safety risk if authorized to
operate a motor vehicle during the period of suspension imposed
under paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 13352 or Section
13352.1, the court may disallow the issuance of a restricted driver's
license required under Section 13352.4.
