Fulcher Co-Sponsors Bill to Repeal HALT Drunk Driving Act Mandate

Jul 29, 2026

The KTVB segment reports on Idaho Rep. Russ Fulcher's co-sponsorship of the No Kill Switches in Cars Act, which seeks to repeal the 2021 bipartisan HALT Drunk Driving Act. That law requires NHTSA to set a standard for passive impaired-driving detection technology in new vehicles that can prevent or limit operation. The report notes the technology is not yet widely available, so the rule is not in effect, and highlights Fulcher's view that privacy threats and government abuse outweigh safety benefits. It includes a counter from Distilled Spirits Council CEO Chris Swonger denying any 'switch,' government control, or data sharing, calling such claims scare tactics. Opponents also cite risks of false positives, such as mistaking evasive swerving for impairment. The bill awaits a hearing after being introduced last year.

Idaho Abortion Trial: Doctors Differ on Law's Medical Exceptions

Jun 12, 2026

The segment covers day three of a federal trial in Boise challenging Idaho's near-total abortion ban. It focuses on testimony from the chair of the Idaho Board of Medicine and key witnesses Dr. Dustin Hughes for the state and Dr. Stacy Seyb, the plaintiff maternal-fetal medicine specialist. Hughes described managing high-risk cases through early delivery without viewing it as a banned abortion and noted referrals for complex cases; Seyb's approach differed on timing for infections, leading one patient to be airlifted out of state. The report highlights the central dispute over how imminent a threat to the mother's life must be under the law. Sourcing relies on direct court observations and named witnesses with no anonymous sources or graphics referenced.
