Bill > S2006

This bill aims to further strengthen public safety by reducing unlicensed and uninsured driving by offenders who have operated a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. The key provisions of the bill include: - Requiring offenders to install and maintain an ignition interlock device on any vehicle they operate for a specified period, with the length of the requirement increasing based on the number of prior offenses. Offenders may apply for an ignition interlock license to drive during the suspension period. - Increasing license revocation periods for repeat offenders, up to a lifetime revocation for those with four or more prior offenses, while still allowing for an ignition interlock license. - Providing discounts on the costs of ignition interlock devices and services for offenders who demonstrate financial hardship. - Enhancing reporting and monitoring requirements for ignition interlock device providers to ensure compliance. - The bill aims to promote public safety by keeping impaired drivers off the roads and providing a path for offenders to regain limited driving privileges through the use of ignition interlock devices.
