2003 House Bill 4247

House Roll Call 205: Passed

To lower the threshold for drunk driving offenses from a blood-alcohol-content (BAC) of .10 to .08 per 100 milliliters of blood, per 210 liters of breath, or per 67 milliliters of urine; retain an impaired driving offence which would not necessarily be related to BAC, and create a new “high BAC” drunk driving crime for those with a blood alcohol level of .15 grams or more, and/or are under the influence of illegal drugs. This latter category would be subject to higher fines and double the license suspension period.
