Section 410 of existing law gives States eligibility to receive funds for alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures. It is a good program, a good provision. New Jersey is the first and only State to enact a law to impound a vehicle operated by a person who was arrested for drunk driving. Now, section 410 requires that States meet six of nine criteria to qualify for a grant. If the gentleman's amendment is accepted, it would expand that number to seven. If the gentleman from New Jersey, as I understand from previous discussion on this amendment, would agree that as we move further into conference, that the number of criteria necessary to qualify for a grant should be reduced to six, so we not expand the number and make it easier to evade, then I would concur in this amendment.
