AI Summary

This bill lowers the threshold blood alcohol concentration (BAC) for the offense of operating a vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant from 0.08 grams per 100 milliliters of blood or 0.08 grams per 210 liters of breath to 0.05 grams per 100 milliliters of blood or 0.05 grams per 210 liters of breath.
