A bill to lower Washington’s blood-alcohol limit for drivers has cleared a major hurdle. Senate Bill 5067, which would lower the limit from .08 to .05, passed the state Senate Wednesday. “This legislation is about community safety,” Democratic Senator John Lovick, a prime sponsor of the bill, said. “I investigated thousands, and I mean thousands of DUI collisions during my career,” he said on the Senate floor on Wednesday. “Every single DUI collision was preventable.”Republican senator opposes bill: ‘We’re addressing people who aren’t impaired’Republican Senator Jeff Holy voted no.
