Author: MONTGOMERY, Ala. — The Alabama House has given final approval to a bill that would require some people who have been convicted of driving under the influence from being able to start their cars.
The House gave final approval Thursday to a bill that allows judges to require some convicted drunken drivers to have interlocking devices placed on their cars.

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Mike Hill of Columbiana, said Alabama is the only state in the nation that does not require drunken drivers to use some type of interlocking device.
