MADD Florida Adds Weight to Legislation
(BUSINESS WIRE)
Mothers
Against Drunk Driving (MADD Florida) announced today, their strong
support for House Bill 295 and Senate Bill 554, clarifying jurisdiction
issues regarding Campus/University Police Agencies. These officers often
encounter DUI and other criminal situations near the boundaries of
university campuses. "As it stands now, Campus police agencies are
constantly challenged by defense lawyers over jurisdiction issues…even
though they are operating under mutual aid agreements with neighboring
departments" , said Don Murray, MADD's Executive Director in Florida.
"This new law will provide a clean and clear resolution to this issue.
It closes another loop hole and will likely keep some students alive and
healthy!"
"We strongly encourage the passage of this legislation in support of our
young people and the law enforcement officers working to keep them
safe" , Murray concluded.
Mothers
Against Drunk Driving is the Nation's preeminent public welfare
agency related to DUI and related issues. Additional information may be
