Washington State Senate passes bill to lower DUI blood alcohol limit to 0.05% amid safety debate.
The Washington State Senate has passed legislation to lower the legal blood alcohol limit for driving from 0.08% to 0.05%, making it one of the strictest in the U.S. alongside Utah.
The bill, Senate Bill 5067, passed 26-23 and now moves to the House.
Supporters say the change, backed by data showing impairment begins at 0.05%, could reduce fatal crashes.
Opponents argue it may not significantly curb impaired driving and could harm rural businesses.
The measure, sponsored by Sen. John Lovick, aims to improve road safety and shift cultural attitudes.
If enacted, it could take effect July 1, 2026.
