States resist federal DUI standards amid incentives cut
Washington notes that South Carolina faced a $1.8 million loss in federal incentives for not adopting the .08 BAC standard by the Oct. 1, 2003 deadline. State Sen. Hawkins pushes to drop intoxication to .08, while Rep. Altman denounces the federal push as blackmail. The response reflects a broader 16 month fight over DUI policy and car seizure proposals.
