Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 14:334(A), relative to ignition interlock devices; to add a reference to the Code of Criminal Procedure; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Louisiana law regarding ignition interlock devices, which are breathalyzers installed in vehicles that prevent a driver from starting the engine if they have a blood alcohol concentration above a certain limit. Specifically, it clarifies that individuals who are required by probation or any other law to use an ignition interlock device are prohibited from operating a motor vehicle unless it is equipped with a functioning device, and they are also prohibited from asking someone else to blow into the device or start the car for them. The bill also adds references to the Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically Article 320(C), which likely outlines procedures related to these devices, and broadens the scope to include "any other provision of law" that mandates their use.
