What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Department of Transportation administers a safe-ride

grant program under which it may award grants to a county, municipality, or

nonprofit corporation to cover the costs of transporting, from a bar or other premises

licensed to sell alcohol beverages to a residence, a person suspected of being too

intoxicated to legally drive. The grant amount cannot exceed 80 percent of the costs

necessary to provide the service. Under this bill, DOT may also award grants to cover

the costs of advertising a safe-ride service.
