Official summary

Read the official summary (openstates)
Beginning June 1, 2027, a person convicted for the first time of certain offenses related to driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is required to hold an interlock-restricted license for a consecutive period of nine months following reinstatement of the person's driver's license prior to being eligible to obtain any other driver's license, except in limited circumstances.      If a person's driving privileges have been revoked for one year or more because of a refusal related to certain offenses related to driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, current law authorizes the person to apply for early reinstatement with an interlock-restricted license after the driving privilege has been revoked for 2 months. Beginning June 1, 2027, the 2-month waiting period is repealed.     Under current law, a financial assistance program (assistance program) is available to assist people who apply for an interlock-restricted license and are unable to pay the full cost of an approved ignition interlock device. The act restricts eligibility for the program to those who satisfy certain income criteria.     A certified ignition interlock manufacturer (manufacturer) must provide a person who is eligible for the assistance program certain discounts on installation of, lease charges for, and removal of an interlock device. The manufacturer must provide certain information regarding the assistance program at the time the interlock device installation appointment is scheduled and when a person executes an interlock device lease or service agreement.     The act appropriates $15,225 to the department of revenue to implement the act.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
