Gov. Whitmer Signs Legislation Keeping Legal Blood Alcohol Content at 0.08%

LANSING, Mich. - Governor Whitmer today signed Senate Bills 616 and 617, which together accelerate the effectiveness of changes made by House Bills 4308 and 4309 by maintaining the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC) at 0.08%, keeping Michigan drivers safe, and saving the state millions in federal dollars.

"These bills ensure that Michiganders have a safe, reliable guideline to help them make smart decisions and stay safe on the roads," said Governor Whitmer. "Maintaining a legal BAC level of .08 also unlocks millions in federal funding that Michigan can use to fix the roads. I'm proud to partner with the legislature to sign these bills into law."
