A Wyoming bill to force suspected drunken drivers to submit to a breath, blood or urine test for alcohol is headed to the House floor for debate.
House Bill 29, sponsored by Rep. Keith Gingery, R-Jackson, received endorsement by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday morning on a 5-4 vote.

Patterned after South Dakota's tough law, the bill would repeal Wyoming's 50-year-old implied consent law that allows suspected drunken drivers to refuse any tests for alcohol.

Gingery said the bill is targeted at repeat offenders with high blood-alcohol levels who know how to use the law to avoid punishment.

Details.
