Bill > SB870

This bill requires the Motor Vehicle Administration to mandate certain individuals convicted of, or granted probation before judgment for, drunk driving offenses to participate in the Ignition Interlock System Program for specified periods of time. The Ignition Interlock System Program requires the installation of a device in the individual's vehicle that prevents the vehicle from starting if it detects any alcohol on the driver's breath. The bill also outlines the specific circumstances under which an individual must participate in the program, such as a license suspension or revocation due to a drunk driving offense or an accumulation of driving points. The bill aims to enhance public safety by ensuring that repeat or high-risk drunk drivers are monitored and prevented from operating a vehicle while impaired.
