Lawmakers approve alcohol monitoring bracelets for repeat DUIs

Hawaii law is pretty tough on repeat drunk drivers. But still, 1 in 10 alcohol-related accidents involve a repeat offender. Hawaii lawmakers have passed a bill requiring repeat offenders to wear alcohol monitoring bracelets. It gives judges the authority to require the bracelet for offenders who get two DUIs within five years. Lawmakers say the bracelets will make Hawaii’s roads safer.
