- On Tuesday, a House committee has passed a bill for DUI conviction. According to that bill the DUI convicted people might have to pass a Breathalyzer test each time they start their vehicle.
This House Bill 58 will allow the judge to order for a breath alcohol-monitoring device for a person’s first DUI conviction. This ignition interlock device requires a person to go under a breath test before starting the vehicle; if the person will be too dunk to drive then the car will not start.
Democratic Rep. Dennis who had sponsored this bill told that the person who will be charged for this penalty would pay $2 to $3 a day for the device and that can continue for up to a year.
Keene said that he is sponsoring this bill because his daughter was injured by a drunk driver in 2002 and she have to go under three operations. He said that cost is not the issue if they can buy liquor then $3 a day is nothing, its almost equal to the cost of a beer in a bar.
