New Legislation To Combat Drunk Driving

The Daily Record reports on two bills underfoot in the General Assembly which would prevent convicted drunk drivers from repeating their offenses. A couple of bills (SB 851 and HB HB 732; and SB 852 and HB 815) introduced both in the House and Senate would require that drunk drivers first pass a breath test before operating their vehicle. Current laws require this option only as an alternative to suspending the individual's license.
