Bill > SF0071

This bill amends Wyoming law to allow individuals convicted of aggravated homicide by vehicle (which occurs when someone causes a death while driving under the influence) to be eligible for an ignition interlock restricted license, but only after they have completed the mandatory license revocation period specified in the statute. An ignition interlock restricted license allows a convicted driver to continue driving, but requires them to have a device installed in their vehicle that prevents the car from starting if the driver has been drinking. Currently, such individuals are completely prohibited from obtaining this type of restricted license. The bill will apply retroactively to all cases of aggravated homicide by vehicle involving a violation of driving under the influence laws, regardless of when the conviction occurred, and will become effective on July 1, 2025. This change provides a potential pathway for rehabilitation and restricted driving privileges for individuals who have served their initial license revocation period.
