Bill Summary

Motor vehicles; suspension of driver license and ignition interlock device following first driving while under the influence conviction required

AI Summary

This bill mandates that individuals convicted of their first offense of driving under the influence (DUI) in Alabama will have their driver's license suspended and will be required to install an ignition interlock device, a breathalyzer connected to a vehicle's ignition that prevents it from starting if alcohol is detected. The bill amends existing law to require this ignition interlock device installation following a first DUI conviction, in addition to the existing license suspension, and specifies the duration of the suspension and the subsequent period the device must be used. It also outlines various penalties and requirements for subsequent DUI offenses, including longer license revocations and mandatory ignition interlock device use for extended periods, and clarifies provisions related to fines, court programs, and the issuance of restricted driver's licenses.
