AN ACT REDUCING BLOOD ALCOHOL LIMITS FOR IMPAIRED DRIVING AND BOATING, CONCERNING INFORMATION REGARDING POLICE PHLEBOTOMY TRAINING AND STUDYING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC WARRANT TECHNOLOGY.
SB 1376 lowers the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit for driving from 0.08% to 0.05% for most drivers, effective January 2, 2026. It maintains a 0.04% limit for commercial drivers and sets a stricter 0.02% limit for drivers under 21. The bill directly affects all drivers operating motor vehicles, including cars, snowmobiles, and all-terrain vehicles, in the state. It updates legal definitions related to impaired driving enforcement but does not address the other elements mentioned in the title (police phlebotomy training or electronic warrants), which appear to be procedural references only.
