Though everything sounds wonderful, there are some catches. Generally, a SIS is an agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor in which the defendant agrees to accept responsibility for the crime, agrees not to violate any laws for up to two years, not to drink alcohol for some period of time (usually one or two years), not to go to establishments that serve alcohol, with the exception of restaurants and some sporting events, and to take random urine samples to ensure compliance. This means you are admitting guilt to the DUI without being formally convicted.


What is a Suspended Imposition of Sentence?Ī SIS is a way of pleading guilty to a charge without having a sentence imposed on you. One such option, assuming it is your first offense, is to try and negotiate a Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS). In Missouri, if you’ve been pulled over for drinking and driving you may not realize that there are other options besides receiving a standard DWI conviction.
