Wisconsin Drunk Driving Law Changing
For years Wisconsin has trailed the country in drunk driving legislation until now.
Governor Jim Doyle has signed a bill into law that cracks down on drunk drivers in Wisconsin. Senate Bill 66 passed unanimously in both houses of the state legislature. The new tough drunk driving law makes it a felony for a fourth offense, it requires ignition interlock devices for second offenders or high blood alcohol levels for first time offenders. It criminalizes a first offense if a child under 16 is in the vehicle.
In addition, the law calls for treatment programs and counseling, which is much cheaper for the taxpayers than putting and keeping someone in jail.
