Bill > S05671

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. The key provisions include: - Defining the role of an "ignition interlock monitor" to monitor compliance with ignition interlock device requirements for participants in the ignition interlock program. - Requiring the court to sentence people convicted of certain drunk driving offenses to a period of probation or conditional discharge with conditions including the installation and maintenance of an ignition interlock device for at least 12 months. - Allowing the court to impose an alternative sentence with less stringent ignition interlock requirements in certain cases. - Defining violations of the ignition interlock requirements and the consequences for such violations. - Requiring the Division of Criminal Justice Services to report annually on repeat convictions for drunk driving offenses. The bill aims to strengthen the ignition interlock program and enforcement of ignition interlock requirements for people convicted of drunk driving offenses in order to improve public safety.
