  1. Does Utah’s New DUI Law Hurt Tourism?

  2. Utah’s new .05 DUI law has yet to be enforced. But it has already caused a swell of controversy throughout the state and even across the nation. While most states have .08 blood alcohol limit for DUI, Utah’s drunk driving laws will become the toughest in the nation.

  3. “ Does .05 Make Utah’s Roadways Safer? One of the biggest debates over the new DUI is whether it will reduce the number of accidents and fatalities caused by drunk drivers. The facts have yet to be seen. But proponents of the bill cite research conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board which indicates unsafe alcohol impairment begins with a .05 BAC (blood alcohol concentration).

The ABI has already taken aggressive measures to voice its displeasure. Over the past few months, the group has launched an ad campaign condemning those who support the law, including its creator Senator Jim Dabakis.
