Bill > AB366

This bill extends the operation of existing laws related to ignition interlock devices (IIDs) for individuals convicted of driving under the influence until January 1, 2033. Specifically, the bill amends multiple sections of the California Vehicle Code to maintain current provisions that require certain drivers convicted of driving under the influence to install functioning, certified ignition interlock devices in their vehicles. The provisions include graduated requirements based on the number of prior offenses, with longer mandatory installation periods for repeat offenders. The bill also maintains a sliding scale fee structure for IID installation that takes into account an individual's income level, ensuring that those with lower incomes pay a reduced percentage of the device's cost. Additionally, the bill preserves provisions allowing limited driving privileges for individuals who install an IID and meet certain requirements, such as completing a driving-under-the-influence program. By extending these laws, the bill aims to continue deterring repeat drunk driving offenses and promoting safer roadways by ensuring that individuals with a history of driving under the influence have restricted driving privileges and are closely monitored through IID technology.
