“An awakening”: Nebraska 24/7 Sobriety program credited with turning lives around

Right now, the 24/7 Sobriety Program is offered only in Douglas and Lancaster Counties in Nebraska as pilot projects, for a limited number of people. But a bill introduced in the Nebraska Legislature could change that.
The proposal, Legislative Bill 335, would standardize the program statewide, which officials hope would allow more counties to start programs. It would also provide an incentive for more people to choose the program, giving those arrested for repeat drunken driving a chance to drive again, while waiting to go to court, if they install an ignition interlock device and enter the 24/7 Sobriety Program. Right now, they have to wait 45 days to drive again.
