5/20/22 - Mothers Against Drunk Driving Honors Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer with Legislative Hero Award - Sen. Schumer has long been a supporter of MADD and a leader in traffic safety. MADD's Legislative Hero award officially thanks and recognizes Sen. Schumer for the pivotal leadership he exercised to advance the drunk driving prevention technology rulemaking provision in the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Sen. Schumer even emphasized the importance of this provision in the comprehensive bill to Presiden Biden during the White House signing cermony. The motor vehicle safety standard that will result from the mandated rulemaking will save more than 9,400 lives a year, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and will ultimately lead to an end to drunk driving.
