RELATING TO THE USE OF INTOXICANTS WHILE OPERATING A VEHICLE.

SB 1643 lowers the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) threshold for driving under the influence of intoxicants. This bill directly affects all drivers operating vehicles on public roads, as it would make it illegal to drive with a lower BAC level than currently permitted. The key provision changes the legal limit for DUI offenses, tightening the standard for impairment. The bill is currently pending in committee review (referred to TCA, JDC) and has not yet become law.
