State Senate pass bill aimed at reducing drunk driving


A bill aimed at reducing drunk driving has passed the Michigan Senate.

 

Individuals convicted of driving while intoxicated may have a ignition interlock device added to their car. The device is like a handheld car breathalyzer, which would test the driver before starting the vehicle.

 

Supporters say this device is more effective than license suspensions.

 

The bill would create the Specialty Court, which would also consider drug treatment court, mental health court and veterans treatment court.

 

The bills now head to the House of Representatives for consideration.
