Introduced in the House on September 5, 2007, to allow the use of certain out-of-state ordinance violations to enhance drunk driving penalties. The out-of-state violations could be considered “prior convictions” that trigger higher penalties for subsequent offenses.

The vote was 104 in favor, 1 opposed and 5 not voting

NOW. These guys spend every waking moment trying to figure out how to screw the folks that elected them to the public teat. NO MORE. Wanna do something jim? Go start cutting the bloated goat we call government. Start looking for ways to help all us serfs, start working for THE PEOPLE, after all, we are the ones earning the money that you then take from us to buy votes with. Enough is Enough. You folks are pathetic

HB5157 wants to allow more liquor, this ones wants higher penalties. Get drunk, but don't drive??????? Tax dollars at work??????????

Go get a real job and leave us alone. The so called "drunk driving" thing has been beaten to death. Stop it. You want more revenue? Cut taxes, cut government, cut waste and watch your slush fund you call tax dollars grow expotentially. Get a life, get a brain!

My stepfather was killed by a drunk driver and I think people who drink and drive are asking for trouble, but fines and jail does nothing to stop drunk driving, it only makes more money for the state or local goverment
