On July 11, DISCUS crafted and promoted state-by-state model legislation, “The Drunk Driving Prevention Act,” designed to strengthen drunk driving laws in all states. To date, most states have adopted provisions outlined in the model legislation. “We commend the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States for taking the initiative to develop this five-provision act designed to deter and stop impaired drivers, and we applaud you for introducing it in all 50 states.” – Nelba Chavez, SAMHSA Administrator
