Vehicles: driving under the influence.

Existing law prohibits a person from driving a motor vehicle when the person has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in their blood. This bill would instead prohibit a person from driving a motor vehicle when the person has 0.05 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in their blood. The bill would also make other conforming changes. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would create a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
