Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a person may not operate a motor vehicle, a boat, a
snowmobile, or an all-terrain vehicle with a prohibited alcohol concentration
(PBAC) while under the influence of an intoxicant or a controlled substance, or with
a measurable amount of a restricted controlled substance in his or her blood
(OWI-related offense). For a person who has committed two or fewer OWI-related
offenses, the PBAC is 0.08 or more. For a person who has committed three or more
OWI-related offenses, the PBAC is 0.02.
This bill lowers the PBAC for a person with one or more OWI-related offenses
to 0.02.
