Bill Would Allow Breathalyzers In Cars

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A new bill proposed by an Ohio U.S.senator was stirring up a lot of controversy on Monday when it comes to drinking and driving.

The bill is co-sponsored by Sen. Sherrod Brown and if approved, would promote the installation of interlock devices that measure the alcohol levels of drivers in cars, 10TV's Karina Nova reported.

If a driver is over the legal limit, the device would prevent the car from starting.

The bill, co-sponsored by Brown, an Ohio Democrat, would support adding systems to cars that detect alcohol on someone's breath before they start the car.

If approved, it would provide $60 million for more research, money that Brown said is already in the U.S. Department of Transportation's budget.
