Safety advocates and drunk driving victims’ families are urging state lawmakers to strengthen Wisconsin’s ignition interlock device laws.
Supporters gathered at the Capitol as the Assembly Judiciary Committee is hearing arguments on the bill. The legislation aims to prevent repeat drunk driving offenses. It could legally allow offenders to drive soon, but only if an interlock device is installed to ensure sober driving. Advocates say the bill would allow faster installation of the devices for repeat and first-time high blood alcohol content offenders.
