Support DWI reform in New York

Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) needs your help to advance four DWI reform measures in New York.

Why does MADD need your help? From 2019 to 2021, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), drunk driving deaths increased from 256 to 388—an 52% increase!

Help us support:

S 776 by Senator Liu and A 1627 by Assemblywoman Simon would make New York the second state with a .05 BAC per se law.
S 775 by Senator Cooney and A 4171 by Assemblywoman Woerner fixing the ignition interlock law.
A 174 by Assemblyman Magnarelli and S 3135 by Senator Mannion improving the drug-impaired driving law.
A 1776 by Assemblyman Meeks and S 2572 by Senator Gounardes to require impaired drivers to pay child support when an impaired driver causes a crash that kills a parent or guardian.

On this page, please email your state lawmakers in support of these lifesaving measures!

As a constituent, I urge you to support S 776 by Senator Liu and A 1627 by Assemblywoman Simon would make New York the second state with a .05 BAC per se law. In Utah in the first year of the law, the .05 BAC law has helped reduce drunk driving deaths by 19%.

Please support S 775 by Senator Cooney and A 4171 by Assemblywoman Woerner. This legislation includes many fixes to the ignition interlock law. Currently, only 26% of arrested drunk drivers in New York install the device. Among other provisions, this legislation ensures ignition interlocks are required for any plea deals. States with well-functioning ignition interlock laws see a 16% reduction in DWI deaths.

Please support A 174 by Chairman Magnarelli and S 3135 by Senator Mannion. This legislation ensures drug-impaired drivers are held accountable.

Finally, please support A 1776 by Assemblyman Meeks and S 2572 by Senator Gounardes to require impaired drivers to pay child support when an impaired driver causes a crash that kills a parent or guardian.
