Iowa utilizes ignition interlocks to combat drunk driving, but the devices are not required for all convicted drunk drivers. MADD urges law- makers to enact legislation requiring interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers and to legalize sobriety checkpoints, which have the potential to reduce fatalities by 20 percent. This is especially important, as fatalities have been on the rise in the state. IOWA

In 2011, Kansas enacted a law requiring ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers. This change came after consecutive annual increases in drunk driving deaths, in contrast to overall national reductions. With strong enforcement efforts and the new ignition interlock law in place, Kansas should be able to turn the corner on drunk driving. MADD urges the governor to appoint a DUI coordinator to continue moving Kansas in the right direction. KANSAS

In 2010 and 2011, lifesaving ignition interlock legislation passed the House but stalled in the Senate. Legislators have the power to help assist in the elimination of drunk driving by passing legislation requiring all convicted drunk drivers to blow before they go. MADD urges the Ken- tucky Senate to enact legislation that could help save he lives of about 200 people per year. KENTUCKY

Louisiana was one of the first states to pass an all-offender ignition interlock law. However, the state still lacks ALR, strong administrative oversight of the post-DUI licensing process and judges committed to implementing the mandatory interlock law. Louisiana needs a DUI coordi- nator to help overcome those factors that inhibit the effectiveness of the state’s interlock law. LOUISIANA
