Bill Summary

An Act relating to operating-while-intoxicated offenses, including temporary restricted licenses and ignition interlock devices, providing penalties, making penalties applicable, and including effective date and applicability provisions.

AI Summary

This bill amends Iowa's operating-while-intoxicated (OWI) laws, including provisions related to temporary restricted licenses and ignition interlock devices. Key changes include: - Requiring installation of ignition interlock devices on all vehicles operated by repeat OWI offenders seeking a temporary restricted license, rather than just vehicles they own. - Establishing compliance-based procedures to extend the required ignition interlock period if certain violations are detected. - Allowing the department to waive the ignition interlock requirement for individuals with a verified medical condition that prevents them from properly operating the device. - Increasing the driver's license revocation period for third and subsequent OWI convictions from 6 to 6 years. - Prohibiting early termination fees for ignition interlock providers if the device is no longer required. The bill takes effect on January 1, 2025 and applies to OWI offenses occurring on or after that date.
