DUI deaths may be shown to students

Tennessee high school students would receive a statewide monthly report of teenagers killed in DUI-related traffic accidents under legislation moving through the Legislature Wednesday.

The bill sponsored by Sen. Steve Cohen, D-Memphis, unanimously passed the Senate Education Committee and is headed to the Senate floor. The companion bill remains in a House subcommittee.

The legislation requires the Department of Safety to submit monthly reports to the Department of Education regarding DUI-related deaths of persons 18 years or younger.
