Additions and Enhancements
Three new policy topics were added to the APIS Policy Topics section:
Alcohol and Pregnancy: Limitations on Criminal Prosecution
Alcohol and Pregnancy: Civil Commitment
Alcohol and Pregnancy: Priority Treatment
The data for all Blood Alcohol Concentration Limits policy topics (Adult, Youth, Recreational Watercraft) were comprehensively reviewed and the date range was extended to encompass January 1, 1998 through January 1, 2003 instead of the previous endpoint of January 1, 2002.
In the Enacted Bills and Adopted Regulations section, enacted bills have been added through the end of the 2003 regular legislative session for the following jurisdictions: Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Utah.
Corrections and Clarifications
To increase uniformity of data for all policy topics, data for the Blood Alcohol Concentration Limits policy topics (Adult, Youth, Recreational Watercraft) were modified by either adding or removing citations and expanding or reducing relevant text excerpts as appropriate.
