A bill that would decrease the state’s blood-alcohol content threshold for a DUI charge cleared its final floor vote in the state Senate on Tuesday and has been forwarded to the House.
The vote on Senate Bill 754, which would lower the blood-alcohol content for drunken driving from 0.08% to 0.05%, was 21 ayes and four noes.
The no votes were Sen. Kurt Fevella of Oahu, the chamber’s only Republican, and three Oahu Democrats — Sens. Donna Mercado Kim, Michelle Kidani and Gil Riviere.
