Carlin wants new drunken driving laws
By JEFF TAYLOR Staff Reporter
Momentum from the Kansas Legislature's crackdown last year on drunk drivers continued into the 1983 session with a proposal from Gov. John Carlin this week to create even tougher drinking laws.
Carlin asked in his message to the Legislature for a law that would convict people arrested for operating a motor vehicle, their driving abilities were impaired.
A driver could be arrested on a charge of operating a vehicle while impaired (OWI) if he had a blood alcohol content of between 0.05 percent and 0.1 percent, according to Carlin's proposal.
*OWIWould BE considered a lesser offense than operating under the influence, which requires that a driver drink alcohol content of 0.1 percent.
Those currently convicted the first time for drunken driving often have their charges reduced to reckless driving. A second charge may not reflect an alcohol-related arrest.
George Heckman, the assistant director for the Douglas County Citizen's Committee on Alcoholism, said yesterday that a person who weighed 150 pounds and had eaten a few hours before drinking could, within an hour, be past the 0.05 percent blood alcohol level if he drank approximately three 12-ounce beers that were 5 percent alcohol by weight.
On the record
A CAR belonging to a KU student was vandalized early yesterday morning, KU police said. Damage was estimated at $200, the police report said.
MECOLLUM HALL officials reported to KU police that they received a fire alarm.
Those three beers would be equivalent to a mixed drink with 1 $ \frac{1}{2} $ ounces of alcohol, or five ounces of wine, he said. The effects of the alcohol depend on other things, such as a person's weight.
STATE SEN. Wint Winter, R-Lawrence, said he thought the 0.05 blood alcohol content guideline might be too restricting.
Winter is vice chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which considers such changes in law.
He said he favored legislation that would prohibit drunken driving, but said that some people were not allowed to drink a small amount of alcohol.
But State Rep. Bob Frey, R-Liberal, said that some drivers were not able to handle even a few drinks before they drive.
"There are some unfortunate folks who have a drink or two and they're drunk, and that's it," he said. "And they're playing the cards." And drinks two sixpacks."
Winter said it was likely that someone in the Legislature would
submit a bill in favor of the OWI law,
because there was some sentiment
from last year for such a bill.
"FROM WHAT I can see so far, the mood in the Legislature is certainly to take action to enforce driving while impaired (OWI)." he said.
Frey supports another possible proposal in the Legislature eliminating a law established last year, allowing a first-time drunken driving offender to substitute 100 hours of community service work for a six-hour jail sentence.
Communities were not able to find enough work to occupy 100 hours of community service for those offenders. Frey said, a problem the Legislature had not considered.
In 1982 the Governor's Committee on Drinking and Driving during examined the drinking problem in Kansas and researched how other countries had dealt with the problem. On Dec. 13, the committee presented a report to Carlin.
The committee made 15 recommendations for changes in state laws,
CARLIN SAID that he wanted lawmakers to consider six of those 15 recommendations, including the OWI proposal.
Carlin asked that:
*stricter penalties be made for drunken drivers who severely injured or killed another person, or who caused property damage.
- laws be revised so that out-of-state driving offenses are counted in sentencing processes.
- police be able to use breath tests to determine fault in an alcohol-related accident.
- when local law enforcement agencies were able to buy cameras, filmed sobriety tests could be used as evidence.
- once equipment has been developed to detect traces of other kinds of influencing drugs, those arrests could be treated as alcohol-related
Gene Johnson, program coordinator for the Kansas Alcohol Safety Action Project, testified at the committee hearings on drunken drivers.
Johnson has since proposed to the Legislature that drivers arrested by a police officer for being intoxicated should have to apply for an administrative hearing within 20 days or have their licenses revoked for 90 days.
A hearing examiner would examine an offender's arrest record and previous driving offenses, Johnson said. And the examiner would decide whether to revoke the driver's license for as long as one year.
The driver still would have to go to court after the hearing, at which time the judge would decide on a sentence or fine. If the defendant's license is not filed during the hearings, the judge could still revoke that license, Johnson said.

Baker said that any faculty members or researchers who would like to join the program could notify him.
The cancer center is also providing a 24-hour information number, (913) 588-4746, if there are questions about the program.
