North Carolina House Debates Drunk Driving Breathalyzer Bill
Rep. A A McMillan sponsors a bill making refusing a breathalyzer test a misdemeanor with up to 100 dollar fine or 30 days in jail and six month license suspension. A rival measure by Rep Gilber Lee Boger would suspend licenses for nine days on refusal but not create a criminal offense. McMillan argues his bill is more effective and cites rising refusal rates noted by Highway Patrol.
