Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Transportation administers a safe-ride grant program under which it may award grants to any county, municipality, or nonprofit corporation to cover the costs of transporting, from a bar or other retail-licensed premises to a residence, a person suspected of being too intoxicated to legally drive. The grant amount cannot exceed 50 percent of the costs necessary to provide this service.
This bill increases the permissible grant amount under the safe-ride grant program from 50 percent to 80 percent of the costs necessary to provide the service.
