Bill > A07494

This bill amends the vehicle and traffic law, the penal law, and the criminal procedure law to describe the role of the ignition interlock monitor and the requirements for people charged with violations that require the installation of an ignition interlock device to comply with court orders. Key provisions include: - Defining the "ignition interlock monitor" and their responsibilities in monitoring compliance with ignition interlock device requirements. - Requiring the installation and maintenance of an ignition interlock device as a condition of probation or conditional discharge for certain DWI-related offenses, with options for alternative sentencing. - Specifying the duration of ignition interlock device requirements and the process for certifying compliance to have a license restored. - Defining violations of ignition interlock device requirements and the consequences. - Allowing the court to impose ignition interlock device requirements even when a person does not own a vehicle. - Requiring the Division of Criminal Justice Services to report on repeat DWI convictions before and after the effective date of the bill. The bill aims to strengthen ignition interlock device requirements and monitoring for repeat DWI offenders to improve public safety.
