Lowers legal alcohol limit for driving, increases efficiency in license revocation, and requires impaired drivers to pay processing costs.

The Sober Operator Act of 2025 lowers the legal alcohol concentration limit for operating a vehicle or vessel from 0.08 to 0.05. It increases efficiency in the immediate civil pretrial revocation of drivers' licenses by requiring law enforcement officers to request chemical analyses of drivers suspected of impaired driving. It mandates that impaired drivers pay a restoration fee to cover the costs of processing their cases. The act also requires video recording of district court proceedings involving impaired drivers and mandates annual reports on impaired driving case resolutions.
