Midlands AET

What a win!

Today, the Senate concurred with the House version of S.36, meaning the all-offender ignition interlock bill is on its way to the desk of the Governor for signing! This is one of the most impactful, life-saving pieces of drunk driving reform to pass any state legislature in the past few years. Thank you to all who emailed, called, spread the word, and poured their hearts out for a subcommittee or a media interview. You'll never be thanked by those whose lives will be saved and don't know it, but we thank you.

Come talk!
