Nebraska’s 2008 all-offender ignition interlock law received a facelift in 2011, adding an administrative component. This change was made to ensure judicial compliance with the mandatory interlock law. The new law also creates extra penalties for those who drive drunk with a child passenger in the vehicle. To see even further improvements, the governor could appoint a DUI coordinator to make sure all the pieces are in place to help stop drunk driving. NEBRASKA

Nevada has experienced a significant decrease in drunk driving since the Campaign began, but more can be done. The state could improve its rating and better protect the public by requiring all first-time convicted drunk drivers to blow before they go with an ignition interlock. No-refusal activities would also help hold accountable drunk drivers who refuse to be tested for intoxication following a suspected drunk driving arrest. NEVADA

New Hampshire could make significant progress against drunk driving if the current interlock law, which is limited to first-time offenders with a blood alcohol concentration of .16 or greater, was changed to include all convicted drunk drivers. New Hampshire is also the only state in the nation without an adult seatbelt law. NEW HAMPSHIRE

A 2010 New Jersey law requires ignition interlocks for repeat and first-time offenders with a blood alcohol concentration of .15 or greater. The state could do more to stop drunk driving if ignition interlocks were required for all convicted drunk drivers. New Jersey is also missing another key anti-drunk driving tool, as it does not utilize ALR following a drunk driving arrest or refusal. NEW JERSEY
