Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the vehicle and traffic law and the penal law, in relation to ignition interlock devices
AI Summary
This bill requires individuals ordered by a court to install and use an ignition interlock device, a breathalyzer connected to a car's ignition that prevents it from starting if the driver's blood alcohol content is too high, to provide proof of its installation, maintenance, and regular use. It also extends the period of license suspension or revocation until this proof is submitted, ensuring that individuals convicted of alcohol-related driving offenses, such as driving while intoxicated (DWI), continue to use these devices for a specified period even after their license is restored, and mandates that the commissioner of motor vehicles establish guidelines for proving continuous and regular use.
