HB 5742 Summary

• Eliminates a scheduled sunset provision (October 1, 2018) that would have raised the blood alcohol threshold from 0.08 grams to 0.10 grams per 100 milliliters of blood, keeping the 0.08 standard permanently in effect.

• Removes strikethrough language throughout sections 625, 625a, 625g, and 625m that previously would have changed alcohol content limits, effectively maintaining current legal thresholds for operating while intoxicated violations.

• Makes technical corrections and conforming amendments to provisions related to impaired driving enforcement, chemical testing procedures, and associated criminal penalties.

• Contains an effective date of 90 days after enactment and is contingent on passage of HB 5743, creating a tie-bar relationship between the two bills.
