This was sponsored on behalf of the Emperor, so I will defer to him in advocating for this.  I believe most of these laws are on the books already, at least for our states and territories, but it wouldn't hurt to make them uniform.  Therefore, I have no objection.

     I wrote this bill in order to bring our DUI laws into line with what was outlined by a recent Federal law. The biggest change is that it prescribes the same penalty for DUI and refusing to be tested, as the federal law that will get us additional highway funding requires us to have that correspondence. Current regional law carries much higher penalties for refusing to be tested.

     BTW, I would like someone to propose an amendment to deal with an error I made in drafting it. Section 1, Clause c should read: "For a person of legal drinking age performing duties in the employment of the government of the Imperial Dominion of the South, the legal threshold shall be 0.05%."

     As written, we just arbitrarily have a different legal limit for our own employees. I think that sort of thing might violate an equal protection clause somewhere.

With two votes in favor, one against, and one abstention, the bill is passed and is presented to the Emperor.
