The provision was enacted by the Senate-House conferees, with the strong backing of President Clinton, as part of the Federal Transportation Appropriations legislation. The bill is expected to go the Senate and House floor for final passage later this week. The legislation requires the states to pass .08 “per se intoxication” laws or lose a portion of their annual federal highway funding. ... www3.madd.org Direct death?
