SUMMARY
Synopsis
of Bill
House Joint Memorial 95 requests that the Department of Public Safety, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Alcohol and Gaming Division of the Regulation and Licensing Department collaborate on a feasibility study of certain methods for preventing driving while intoxicated (DWI.)
The possible methods may include such techniques as installation of breathalyzers and public education posters in retail alcohol establishments
HJM 95 also request that UNM School of Medicine provide medical information about alcohol for the posters and for literature to be made available where liquor is sold or consumed.
FISCAL
IMPLICATIONS
There
is no appropriation contained in HJM 95.
Conducting the collaborative study will result in expenditure of some
FTE and budget resources for the three departments involved. It is presumed these departments can absorb
the relatively minor costs associated with the study in their existing
resources.
