Proposal to strengthen DUI statutes goes to governor
SB42 increases and clarifies several drunken driving statutes. But the heart of the bill says if a driver refuses to take a Breathalyzer test, he automatically falls into a 10-year not-a-drop status.
That means if at a later date he is stopped and found to have any alcohol in his blood, he's guilty of DUI statutes. Normally, a person is DUI guilty if his blood has .08 percent alcohol.
The new law "will encourage drivers to take the (alcohol-detecting) test" in the first place, said House sponsor Rep. Paul Ray, R-Clearfield.
