Possible Change in Oklahoma Boat DUI Law

Governor considering measure regarding drunk boating in Oklahoma.

Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry is considering a new law that would make drunk boating more in line with driving under the influence in Oklahoma. The legislation would lower the legal threshold for intoxication for boat operators from .10% to .08%. That is currently the standard for determining drunk driving in OK.

Sponsors of Senate Bill 902 say that boats are motorized vehicles and that drunken boat operators can be as dangerous on the water as on the road. The measure passed both house of the state legislature and is now being reviewed by the Governor.
