纽森签署SB 907加强加州酒驾法律，含以两名遇难者命名的「布劳恩法」条款
萨克拉门托——加州州长加文·纽森10月12日签署了由州参议员鲍勃·阿楚莱塔（Bob Archuleta，民主党，皮科里维拉）提出的SB 907号法案。该法案是一揽子加强加州酒驾法律、加大对醉酒驾驶者与累犯问责的公共安全措施之一，将于2027年1月1日生效。
SB 907包括被称为“布劳恩法”（Braun's Law）的条款，以布劳恩·利瓦伊（Braun Levi）的名字命名。利瓦伊生前是洛约拉高中18岁的学生、全国排名的网球选手，2025年5月在曼哈顿海滩散步时被一名涉嫌多次酒驾的司机撞死。“布劳恩法”要求：酒驾指控被降格为较轻罪名的人，必须被正式告知醉酒驾驶会危及人的生命，且若日后再次酒驾并致人死亡，可能面临包括谋杀在内的更严重刑事指控。
这项立法对提案人阿楚莱塔本人同样切身。他的孙女萨曼莎·亚历克斯·罗布尔斯·豪恩（Samantha Alex Robles Haun）2024年12月被一名多次酒驾的司机撞死。阿楚莱塔说：“我的孙女就是被一名多次酒驾的司机夺走生命的，这件事对我个人切肤之痛。”他还特别感谢布劳恩的母亲詹妮弗·利瓦伊（Jennifer Levi）在推动“布劳恩法”过程中的倡议努力，并感谢洛杉矶县地区检察官内森·霍赫曼（Nathan Hochman）、橙县地区检察官托德·斯皮策（Todd Spitzer）以及“母亲反酒驾组织”（MADD）在法案通过中发挥的作用。
阿楚莱塔表示，在推动SB 907的过程中，他见过许多酒驾受害者的父母、配偶与子女，他们的生活因有人选择酒后驾驶而被永远改变。他说，这部法律同样属于这些家庭；他同时感谢纽森签署法案，与受害者、家属、执法部门、检察官和倡议者站在一起。

Newsom Signs SB 907 Strengthening California DUI Laws, Including 'Braun's Law'
SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on October 12 signed Senate Bill 907, authored by state Sen. Bob Archuleta (D-Pico Rivera), as part of a package of measures strengthening California's laws against impaired driving and increasing accountability for repeat DUI offenders. The law takes effect on January 1, 2027.
SB 907 includes "Braun's Law," named in memory of Braun Levi, an 18-year-old Loyola High School student and nationally ranked tennis player who was struck and killed in May 2025 by a suspected repeat drunk driver while walking in Manhattan Beach. Braun's Law helps ensure that individuals whose DUI charges are reduced to lesser offenses are formally warned that impaired driving is dangerous to human life and that a subsequent offense resulting in death could expose them to more serious criminal charges, including murder.
For Archuleta, the legislation is personal: his granddaughter, Samantha Alex Robles Haun, was killed by a repeat drunk driver in December 2024. Archuleta also recognized Jennifer Levi, Braun's mother, whose advocacy was instrumental in advancing Braun's Law, and thanked Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer and Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) for their roles in the bill's passage.
Archuleta said that throughout his work on SB 907 he met mothers, fathers, spouses and children whose lives were forever changed because someone chose to drive impaired, and that the law belongs to those families as well. He thanked Newsom for signing the bill and standing with victims, families, law enforcement, prosecutors and advocates, saying driving under the influence is preventable and that repeat impaired driving carries serious consequences under California law.
