This bill amends Section 24S of Chapter 90 to increase the penalties for the removal of certified ignition interlock devices. Specifically, the bill stipulates that anyone caught operating a motor vehicle after their license has been revoked due to the removal of an ignition interlock device will be subject to a fine of $1,000 to $15,000 and imprisonment of 180 days to 2.5 years, or a fine of $1,000 to $15,000 and imprisonment of 2.5 to 5 years in state prison. The bill also outlines certain conditions and restrictions related to the sentence, including a mandatory minimum of 150 days served. The term "certified ignition interlock device" is defined as an alcohol breath screening device that prevents a vehicle from starting if it detects a blood alcohol concentration over 0.02%.
