AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to the laws regarding ignition interlock devices (IIDs), which are devices that prevent a vehicle from starting if the driver's blood alcohol content (BAC) is too high. Primarily, the bill extends the existing provisions related to IIDs indefinitely, removing the previous January 1, 2033, repeal date. It also shifts the requirement for IID installation for a first-time driving under the influence (DUI) conviction from discretionary for the court to mandatory. The bill clarifies that the costs associated with IIDs include program administration, installation, service, maintenance, recalibration, and other related expenses, and it adjusts the income thresholds for fee schedules to be relative to the federal poverty level, with IID providers absorbing any remaining costs not covered by the individual. Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to include more detailed information in its annual report to the Legislature about individuals using IIDs.
