Introduced by HON. LUIS RAYMUND “LRAY" F. VILLAFUERTE, JR.

AN ACT AMENDING REPUBLIC ACT NO. 10586 OTHERWISE KNOWN AS "AN
ACT PENALIZING PERSONS DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL,
DANGEROUS DRUGS, AND SIMILAR SUBSTANCES, AND FOR OTHER
PURPOSES"

It was declared the policy of the State to ensure road safety through the observance
of the citizenry of responsible and ethical driving standards which gave rise to Republic
Act No, 10586 otherwise known as the "Anti-Drunk and Drugged Driving Act of 2013."

However, the inadequate number of Land Transportation Office (LTO) personnel to
enforce R.A. No. 10586 which would conduct regular roadside operations and
apprehend traffic Violators hinders the effective implementation of our road safety
laws.

This bill aims to guarantee mandatory deputation for successful law enforcement
through sufficient manpower which would conduct regular roadside operations and to
ensure a proactive and continuous implementation of R.A. No. 10586.

Italso seeks to integrate road safety and drivers’ education into the K to 12 curriculum
to ensure that the ill effects of drunk and drugged driving is instilled early.

Ih view of the foregoing, the approval ofthis bill is most eamestly sought.
