CINCINNATI (WKRC) - There is a new push to toughen drunk driving laws in Ohio.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving is trying to convince the Ohio Senate to pass "Annie's Law.” It would allow convicted drunk drivers to get an ignition interlock on their car to make sure they're driving soberly. The interlocks wouldn't be mandatory.

The bill was named after Annie Rooney who was killed by a serial drunk driver on the Fourth of July in 2013 in Chillicothe.

“Every year's delay means another 200 people die and their families have to go through the same agony that we have,” said Annie’s father, Richard Rooney.

The bill already passed in the House. Senate aides were saying Tuesday, November 15, they were looking at which bills to work on during the lame duck session and said the bill will get "serious consideration".
