Missouri's lawmakers want to reduce the blood alcohol level to .08

Missouri's Representatives are determined to lower Missouri's limit of blood alcohol level from .1 to .08.

Arshiya Syed has the story from the state capitol.

Summersville Representative Don Koller's bill concentrated on registration of automobiles and reducing uninsured drivers. Instead the majority of Missouri's representatives wanted to include an amendment that would lower Missouri's blood alcohol limit to .08.

Reducing the blood alcohol limit to .08 would ensure the state of Missouri to recieve money from the federal government for roads and highways.
