Thousands of alcohol related accidents and arrests happen every year, but there are many people who repeat their offense time and time again.

If Governor Crist passes House Bill 971, four-time DUI offenders would be put on a monitoring system, and get the chance to get behind the wheel again.

Mothers Against Drunk Drivers support the bill, and say the monitoring system is a step in the right direction.

"It stops the driver from driving their weapon of choice basically, that's how we see it, we don't want to see people thinking it's OK to drink and drive, because we see the devastation, and we know alcohol interlock ignition devices save lives," says Kristen Allen, victim advocate manager for M.A.D.D. Florida.

If Crist signs this bill, 4th time DUI offenders can get their license back, but it won't be as easy for them to get in their car and drive.

No offender who has been convicted of DUI manslaughter is eligible to apply, 10 years must have passed since the applicant's most recent violation, the applicant has not been convicted of driving with a suspended or revoked license, and the applicant has completed a DUI program within the past six months.

Opponents say the bill is encouraging repeat offenders.

"We shouldn't write laws to accommodate criminals and after the fourth DUI, you've pretty much said you know, I'm not going to follow this law, and we're sneaking a bill through- 80 pages long- that will give them a drivers license back," says Anthony Lariscy, who opposes the bill.

The bill went to the Governors desk on Friday and he has 15 days to veto or sign it, and if approved, the bill will go into effect on October 1st.

M.A.D.D. wants to eventually see all offenders on an ignition interlock system.
