The New Jersey State Bar Association supports A-4800 (Murphy)/S-3011 (Scutari), which concerns the use of ignition interlock devices for drunk driving offenses.
The Association supports the bill because it permits plea bargaining, which provides discretion to better address the specific circumstances of each case. The bill also extends the expiration of the current drunk driving statute, P.L.2019, c.248 and increases the period required for an ignition interlock device.
For the reasons set forth above, the New Jersey State Bar Association supports A-4800/S-3011 and urges you to vote yes to this proposed legislation.
