A Utah legislator has launched plans for three pieces of legislation to fight drunken driving, The Salt Lake Tribune reported Jan. 20.

Rep. Dana Love, R-Syracuse, plans legislation that would include lowering the legal blood alcohol limit for people driving with minors, “confiscating the weapon” and forcing blood tests. Her proposals will be included in two bills and a resolution that have not yet been written.

The first bill will lower the legal blood alcohol level from 0.08 to 0.02 percent for drivers with minors in the car. According to the newspaper report, drinking one glass of wine with dinner would put a driver over the new limit. The bill also adds a mouth swab test to the approved list of chemical tests, which currently includes blood, breath and urine tests.

Another bill permanently takes away habitual offenders' vehicle registration and license plates if convicted of DUI more than three times. The bill also would temporarily suspend registration and plates of a repeat offender who refuses to take a chemical test upon a third arrest for DUI. The registration and plates will be returned only if the offender is found innocent of the third DUI. The new law would apply to any car driven by a repeat offender, even a borrowed car.

Love has also proposed a resolution that encourages police to draw blood anyway when a driver refuses a chemical test.

Love told the newspaper that forcibly drawing blood is already legal but many law enforcement agencies are not aware of the case law that gives them this “crime prevention tool.” The resolution offers money to departments who change their policies to make blood draws mandatory.
