Minnesota Enacts DUI Interlock, Service Dog Housing Laws

Several states have introduced new laws to enhance vehicle and pedestrian safety. Minnesota enacted stricter DUI laws requiring interlock devices for repeat offenders for up to 10 years and protections for service dog trainers against housing discrimination. North Dakota raised speed limits to 80 mph on certain interstates, banned cell phones in classrooms, expanded property tax credits, and introduced the Feather Alert for missing Native Americans. In the Philippines, a new bill seeks to regulate motorcycle taxis by establishing licensing, insurance, and safety standards to protect riders and passengers. Nevada enforces motorcycle-specific laws, including the 'Dead Red Law,' to reduce accidents and promote rider safety amid high motorcycle fatality rates in Las Vegas. These efforts collectively aim to improve road safety and protect vulnerable populations.
