State Representative Bob Hager of Dorchester is reminding Northeast Iowa residents that several bills go into effect on Friday, July 1st.
Senate File 7 lowers the blood alcohol limit at which a boater is considered drunk. The current standard is 0.10 percent—the new limit is 0.08 percent. The law applies to operators of both motorboats and sailboats.
A new Texting Law approved in 2010 goes into effect July 1st, allowing law enforcement offices to give tickets for texting while driving.
