THP to Enforce New DUI Regulations

JACKSON, Tenn. – State law enforcement officials are intensifying their crackdown on drunken driving with Tennessee’s first-ever “No Refusal” campaign. The “No Refusal” measure passed during the recent legislature and was signed by the governor in May. It allows judges to compel blood tests from people arrested on drunk driving charges. The “No Refusal” enforcement period begins Tuesday and runs through Sunday. It will take place in Select counties that have experienced increased cases of impaired driving this year. The campaign coincides with Tennessee’s 4th of July enforcement period, which begins Wednesday and runs through Sunday.
