SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Driving under the influence; first offenders; 24/7 sobriety program. Allows a person convicted of a first offense DUI to participate in a 24/7 sobriety program, if the locality where the person was convicted has established such a program, as an alternative to prohibiting such person from operating a motor vehicle that is not equipped with an ignition interlock system and other restrictions on his ability to drive. The bill provides that a person participating in a 24/7 sobriety program must, for a period of 12 consecutive months, refrain from the use of alcohol or drugs, submit to regular alcohol or drug testing and, if applicable, wear a secure transdermal alcohol monitoring device, and pay all fees associated with the program.
