ATLANTA (AP) - Hunters, and anyone driving a water vessel in Georgia, would face lower blood-alcohol limits under a proposal that has cleared the Georgia House of Representatives.

 The proposal would lower the current blood-alcohol limit from .10 percent to .08 percent, where it already stands for anyone operating a motor vehicle on Georgia roads.

Senate Bill 136 cleared the House with little opposition. Because of House changes, it now must go back to the Senate for further consideration.

ALBANY, GA (WALB)- Today is the first day of spring, and with that comes the threat of mosquitoes. Following a mild winter and an abundance of rainfall, the pests are already flying around many parts of Dougherty County, and public works is trying to get an early start on combating them.

The recent rains have left many places in Albany and Dougherty County with pools of standing water. This of course is a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

ALBANY, GA (WALB)- As the Georgia General Assembly comes close to an end of this session, lawmakers are still debating proposed changes to the states gun laws.

Lawmakers are considering proposals from the National Rifle Association and GAcarry.org.

The NRA has pursued legislation that would allow people to hunt with silencers and another that makes clear people in public housing can own guns. On the other hand, Georgia Carry.org has proposed a plan that would allow people with a license to carry their firearms into bars and churches as well as college campuses.
