Senate Votes To Forgive And Forget On DWI

The State Senate has voted down an effort to leave drunk driving convictions of those under the age of 21 on the record. A court decision stated all DWI’s by underage drinkers, or all convictions for underage drivers having any alcohol in their bloodstreams, must be erased from their records by the time they reach 21. The Senate has decided the guilty person should not be penalized for the rest of his or her life for doing something silly when he or she was young.
