Introduced by: A. Donald McEachin | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
DUI ignition interlock limitations. Provides that a person who is convicted of DUI may drive only with an ignition interlock after the first offense, as a condition of a restricted license, and is required to have an ignition interlock installed in each vehicle owned by or registered to him after a second offense. The bill also provides that the court may authorize a restricted license for travel to and from the interlock installer, and a person can pre-qualify for an ignition interlock prior to conviction. Currently, the requirement for an ignition interlock is imposed only upon a second or subsequent offense or when the offender's BAC is 0.15 percent or above. This bill is identical to HB 279.
