Bill > SB1845

This bill requires individuals ordered to use an ignition interlock device, which is a breathalyzer installed in a vehicle that prevents it from starting if the driver's blood alcohol content is too high, to provide documentation to the court clerk and the device provider showing they qualify for or are already receiving specific types of financial assistance on the same day they are ordered to use the device. This documentation is necessary to determine their eligibility for the electronic monitoring indigency fund, which helps cover costs for those who cannot afford such devices. The bill also authorizes the state treasurer to work with state agencies to verify this financial assistance eligibility and allows these agencies to share necessary information.
