2003 House Bill 4247 ↩

Senate Roll Call 346: 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. The current thresholds would go back into effect in 2013 unless a new law is passed before then removing this sunset.
