IDS1: Safe Driving Bill [Statute]

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I wrote this bill in order to bring our DUI laws into line with what was outlined by a recent Federal law. The biggest change is that it prescribes the same penalty for DUI and refusing to be tested, as the federal law that will get us additional highway funding requires us to have that correspondence. Current regional law carries much higher penalties for refusing to be tested.

     BTW, I would like someone to propose an amendment to deal with an error I made in drafting it. Section 1, Clause c should read: "For a person of legal drinking age performing duties in the employment of the government of the Imperial Dominion of the South, the legal threshold shall be 0.05%."

     As written, we just arbitrarily have a different legal limit for our own employees. I think that sort of thing might violate an equal protection clause somewhere.

     On the Safe Driving Bill: by the powers vested in me as Emperor of this region, I thus sign it into law.
