Act 24 of 2003 amended Pennsylvania’s driving-under-the-influence laws. A major provision decreased the driving under the influence blood alcohol content from .10 percent to .08 percent.

In addition to lowering the DUI limit, the new state law created a tier system for blood alcohol levels exceeding the minimum DUI percentage.

■ .08 percent to .099 percent is considered

general impairment

■ .10 percent to .159 percent is considered

a high rate of alcohol

■ .16 percent and above falls under

the highest rate

■ .04 or higher for commercial vehicle

drivers.
