Will Iowa’s OWI BAC limit be reduced to .05?

On Tuesday, the National Transportation and Safety Board decided to push states to reduce the Driving Under the Influence legal limit from .08 to .05, as can be seen in today Gazette. Such a move could obviously significantly increase the number of OWI arrests and prosecutions. In future posts I will track attempts to implement this recommendation, including any proposed changes in the OWI limits here in Iowa.
