Secretary of State George Ryan had introduced legisla- tors to his idea to lower the legal limit of blood-alcohol content to .08 percent several years ago, but the legislation never passed. Edgar recognized this fact by congratulat- ing Ryan for his efforts in getting the traffic safety legislation passed. “I congratulate Secretary of State George Ryan . . . whose diligence helped in the pas- sage of this important new law,” Edgar said last week. He went on to say he was “delighted that this common-sense concept is now the law in Illinois.” Illinois becomes the 15th state in the union to lower its recognized legal limit of blood alcohol from .10 percent to .08 per- cent. The new law is primarily geared toward highway safety, and came at just the right time – days before the Fourth of July holi- day.
