Bill > SB921

This bill modifies Oklahoma's Impaired Driver Accountability Program (IDAP) and driver license revocation procedures, primarily changing when and how individuals can enroll in IDAP after an impaired driving arrest. The bill updates the timeline for IDAP enrollment, now requiring participants to submit their request and program fee within 30 calendar days of receiving a revocation notice from Service Oklahoma (instead of from the date of arrest). The legislation maintains the $150 administrative fee, with specific allocations to different state funds, and continues to require participants to install an ignition interlock device and meet various program requirements. The bill also clarifies language around license revocation for individuals who refuse chemical testing, specifying that driving privileges can be reinstated if a subsequent warrant-authorized test shows no measurable alcohol or intoxicating substances. Notably, individuals who enroll in IDAP under these provisions must waive their right to appeal the related arrest. The bill includes an emergency clause, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage, with the goal of preserving public safety by maintaining strict accountability for impaired driving.
