Top story this halfhour, california lawmaker sending a message to other lawmakers who have been caught driving under the influence. Kron fours a ton. Wallace spoke with the lawmaker about his new dui proposal. Drinking and driving really inexcusable, especially for an elected official. Thats the message republican assemblymember billa say lee hopes to sent to fellow lawmakers with his proposal. Hr 51 should go into effect. Any member of the assembly who is arrested and charged with dui loose, a privilege to operate whats known as a pool vehicle. A government perk provided to lawmakers to help them easily get from place to place in sacramento. Most people dont even know we get a taxpayer funded car. Its a state vehicle. The state pays the tax. The state pays the gas for the car. They take care of it. And i think thats a privilege. And so when you violate that privilege and you violate the trust of the public. You shouldnt be driving your car. So its a very simple measure. The rule would apply to lawmakers until their cases result. But if a member is found guilty of deal, why hr 51 would prohibit that lawmaker from driving the pool called for a minimum of 3 it comes just months after urban state senator dave min was arrested for dui last week. He was sentenced to 3 years, informal probation. And while he did not comment after that sentencing during the night of the arrest back in may, men stated, quote, i accept full responsibility and there is no excuse for my actions. The proposal would apply to all Assembly Members on both sides of the aisle and to those convicted of deal, why wouldnt they were still candidates last month .

I think what when you run for elected office are held to a higher standard in this state where 4 people died in dui related crashes every day. Mothers against drunk driving or madd fully supports the proposal driving while impaired by alcohol. But and ordered is a choice and we must hold accountable every person who makes that choice. And its now up to the Assembly Rules committee to decide whether to send the proposal to the floor for a vote reporting at the state capitol. Eytan wallace kron. 4 news.
