State Sen. Tom Killion from Chester and Delaware
counties says Deana’s Law would target repeat drunk drivers with high blood
alcohol content.
“To keep those with multiple DUIs from endangering
the lives of those on the roadways," Killion said. "And that’s the
point here. We’re going for the worst of the worst.”
The legislation is named after Deana Eckman, who was
killed by David Strowhauer. He was paroled about five months before the deadly
crash, serving time for a fifth DUI.
It would require certain repeat DUI offenders to
wear an ankle bracelet that can tell if there’s alcohol in the system, doubles
the time a breathalyzer device is required to start a car, and calls for the
vehicle driven by a repeat offender to be impounded.
