The tragic crash into a Long Island nail salon by an alleged drunk driver last week, killing four and injuring ten, has reignited a grieving mother’s fight to make New York’s roads safer. The push centers on “Andrew’s Law,” named for 12-year-old Andrew McMorris, who was struck and killed by a drunk driver in 2018 while hiking with his Boy Scout troop. This year, Andrew would have graduated from high school—his family accepted his diploma in his honor.  

The bill aims to strengthen DUI laws by classifying aggravated vehicular homicide as a violent crime, ensuring that sentences run consecutively rather than concurrently, and expediting the process for obtaining a blood alcohol level from offenders when a death or injury occurs.
