New Law coming soon-- Boating & Snowmobiling Under the Influence will impact your ability to drive your car!http://bit.ly/1DoV5T
Here's the proposed legislation:
2
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend Senate Bill 2248 by replacing
3 everything after the enacting clause with the following:
4
"Section 1. The General Assembly finds that the use of any
5 motor vehicle, snowmobile or watercraft while under the
6 influence of alcohol or other drugs is inherently dangerous.
7 Further, the General Assembly finds that there is an
8 unacceptable risk to the public safety and welfare that an
9 offender who drives or operates any one of these devices while
10 under the influence will continue to drive or operate another
11 of these devices while under the influence. Further, the
12 General Assembly finds that increased, enhanced, and
13 coordinated legislative, law enforcement, and administrative
14 measures are needed to improve this State's efforts to deter
15 this unlawful activity. Finally, the General Assembly finds
16 that the public safety and welfare can be better served and
17 protected by harmonizing and integrating this State's statutes
09600SB2248ham001 - 2 - LRB096 08771 AJT 29569 a 1 related to driving, boating, and snowmobiling while under the
2 influence of alcohol and other drugs, and that it is with this
3 intent that this legislation is enacted.
I don't know about you but I really find it disturbing to think someone could lose their driving privileges if they were charged with a DUI while operating a snowmobile.
