🚨Tell your lawmaker to oppose lowering the BAC to 0.05%🚨
|
 |
The Washington State Senate is gearing up for a vote on Senate Bill 5002. This bill would lower the legal BAC limit to drive a vehicle from 0.08% to 0.05%. This opens our membership to potential legal liability for overservice of
alcohol. Currently, there is no training to identify a BAC level of 0.05%.
Even if you've done so already, now is the time to use your voice to ask lawmakers to oppose SB 5002.

|
 |
Also, we've heard from several members who would like resources to share with their guests so that they can reach out to lawmakers as well. Feel free to print these table-top flyers and distribute them around your establishment.
