According to National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
of the 1.5 million
impaired driving arrests
each year, one-third involve
repeat offenders.
|
Since 1998, federal law has required that certain federal highway funding be withheld from states that do not require at least a one-year suspension of the driver’s license of a repeat drunk driving offender. States that did not enact such a law were forced to divert highway and infrastructure spending to traffic safety programs. In July 2012, however, Congress passed and President Obama signed the transportation reauthorization bill, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), which made important changes to these requirements. The law took effect Oct. 1, 2012.
