This digest is designed for use by anyone interested in alcohol-related legislation in the States. This document is the result of a comprehensive search of State Codes and Supplements. As such, it provides the reader and researcher with the status of laws in each State and with the Code citation for further reference. NHTSA expects this to be a living document because we intend to stay abreast of legislative activity through both the Commerce Clearing House electronic system and reports from the States and NHTSA Regions. NHTSA will periodically publish page changes to this "Digest" to include new legislation and to correct any errors we may have made in our research. This document is divided into three main areas: 1) Introduction, 2) Compilation of 10 types of high-interest legislation, and 3) State Law Matrix--a comprehensive representation of all State laws relating to alcohol and highway safety. The primary purpose of this matrix is to provide interested persons with a document that can facilitate the comparison of State laws in the subject areas. The matrix is organized by State and by types of legislation. The matrix includes the Code citations and the latest reference used. This should facilitate further research or comparison of laws in different States
The recall, or "election in reverse," is meant to allow voters to remove an elected official from office prior to the completion of his/her term in office. In this revised second edition of The Recall, Joseph F. Zimmerman examines the rise of the recall in the United States and its use by American voters. Proponents of the recall believe the threat of removal from office would ensure that elected officials would act in accord with the public's will, while opponents fear their use would disrupt and inhibit public officers in the performance of their duties. Zimmerman provides a detailed analysis of how the recall has functioned in practice and discovers that the recall has seldom been employed against elected state officials. Although used more often against local government officials, the rate is still not exceptionally high when one considers the extremely large number of elected officials. After a century of use in the United States, the recall has not produced a new era of public official responsibility as hoped for by proponents, but neither has it caused extensive disruption of state and local governments, the original concern of early opponents.
In-depth study of the recall, the most important popular device allowing voters to remove unresponsive elected officials from office.

Examines the origins, spread, and effectiveness of the initiative. The initiative is the product of the populist movement, which in the late nineteenth century sought to increase voter control of what were viewed as unrepresentative state and local governments. Today, twenty-four states allow registered voters to place proposed state laws on the referendum ballot, and eighteen states authorize voters to place proposed state constitutional amendments on the referendum ballot by collecting a specified number of valid voter signatures. Numerous local governments have a charter provision or a state law provision allowing voters to employ the popular lawmaking device. In The Initiative, Second Edition, Joseph F. Zimmerman traces the origin and spread of the initiative in the United States. The initiative has been a controversial device since first being introduced in South Dakota in 1898, with arguments both in support and in opposition. Zimmerman examines and evaluates both the legal foundation of the initiative, and the arguments against its use. He then concludes with a chapter that develops model constitutional, statutory, and local government charter provisions to assist jurisdictions and their voters contemplating adoption of the initiative or amendment of already existing constitutional, statutory, and charter initiative provisions.
