RENO FAMILY WATCHING DUI BILL

RENO, April 19 (UPI) - A Reno family is keeping a close eye on a bill
which has passed another major hurdle in the state legislature.
KRNV-TV reports Jerry and  Stevie Mager helped write the measure after
their son was killed in an accident  three years ago. The driver of
the car in which their son was riding was under  the influence of
marijuana, but did not have enough in his system to be  considered
impaired. The bill, which has now received senate approval, would 
apply DUI laws to drivers with detectable amounts of heroin, cocaine,
L-S-D,  marijuana or other drugs in their blood.
