For the past 13-and-a-half years, Harris has been the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Director of State Government. He said MADD wants Congress to pass the Halt and Ride acts. Each would require newer vehicles to use technology to stop drunk driving.
"They specifically look at the eyes so they can tell within the eyes if the person is impaired," Harris said.
