Tough Drunk Driving Bill Passed by Senate

The State Senate has approved a system that could put drunk drivers in prison for life – if they’re drunk enough and deadly enough. Senator Gary Nodler’s bill steps up penalties for repeat offenders, especially if they kill somebody while they’re driving drunk. A class-b felony has a minimum prison term of ten years. A class-A felony starts at 20 years and could include life. The bill has been sent to the House.
