DUI-CHANGE LIMIT 0.08 TO 0.05

Summary

The bill changes Illinois law so that a driver (or operator of a snowmobile, boat, etc.) is presumed to be under the influence if their blood‑alcohol concentration is 0.05% or higher, instead of the current 0.08% threshold. It updates related sections of the Vehicle Code and other statutes that reference the DUI limit, affecting license suspensions, hearings, and related penalties. The change aims to strengthen road safety by treating lower‑level intoxication as a DUI.
