Sen. Jacque Co-Sponsors Bill Calling for More Uniform Penalties for Drunk Drivers

State Senator Andre Jacque of De Pere is co-sponsoring a bill, which would provide more uniform penalties for OWI charges. In a news release, Jacque and Representative John Spiros of Marshfield say that “Operating while intoxicated is a significant contributing factor for fatalities with any motorized vehicle.” The bill, if passed would make the provisions of Wisconsin Laws related to OWI more consistent.  Currently, individuals could commit a first offense OWI on each of the vast number of different types of vehicles without any of them counting as a repeat offense.
