Hawley: Alix’s Law Is Long Overdue

A Statement From Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia)

“Alix’s law is a crucial measure that would ensure proper prosecution of those who chose to leave the scene of an accident while intoxicated. We need this legislation to close a dangerous loophole and hold intoxicated drivers accountable and prevent deaths that often occur in hit-and-run accidents. Today marks the fourth time this legislation has been passed in the Senate but has never been taken up for a vote in the Assembly. I am calling on leadership in the Assembly to follow the Senate’s lead and pass Alix’s Law to ensure a higher level of safety and accountability on our roadways.”
