Lawmakers consider drunk boating proposal
Lawmakers are again considering a bill to cut alcohol limits for boaters.
The bill calls for lowering the blood-alcohol limit from .10 to .08, which is the limit for drivers on the road.
The bill was approved by the Senate Natural Resources Committee on Tuesday.
The House and Senate have both passed versions of the bill during the past two years, but lawmakers disagreed on various points, such as who is considered a boat “operator.”
