LANSING, MICH. -- The Michigan House has passed legislation that would prevent a scheduled rise in the state's blood-alcohol limit for drivers.

Yesterday, bills were approved unanimously that would keep the legal limit for drivers' blood-alcohol content at .08 percent.

The limit was set to revert back to .10 percent in October because of a Sunset Provision in the current state law.      

The new bills now head to the senate.
