Bill > S02517

This bill amends vehicle and traffic laws to require individuals ordered by a court to install and use an ignition interlock device (a breathalyzer that prevents a vehicle from starting if alcohol is detected) to provide proof of its installation, maintenance, and regular use for a specified period, typically at least six continuous months, before their driver's license can be reinstated or a suspended/revoked license can be restored. The bill also extends the period of license suspension or revocation until this proof of compliance is provided, and clarifies that starting a parked car to preserve battery life does not violate the terms of suspension or revocation. Additionally, it mandates the commissioner to establish guidelines for proving continuous and regular use of these devices.
