Senators push DWI per se bill to floor vote
The Maryland Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee advanced SB256 to the Senate floor on a unanimous voice vote. The measure would set a .10 blood alcohol level as absolute proof of drunkenness and requires prosecutors to share Breathalyzer maintenance records with the accused. The bill aligns Maryland with a per se standard, already approved by the House. Sen. Walter Baker backed the amendment to ensure due process before supporting the bill.
