What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, a court is required to order a person's motor vehicle
operating privilege be restricted to operating vehicles that are equipped with an
ignition interlock device if a person commits a second or subsequent offense related
to operating a vehicle while intoxicated or a first offense while his or her alcohol
concentration is 0.15 or greater, refuses to take a test for intoxication, or injures or
kills a person while operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Under current law, the
operating privilege restriction stays in place for not less than one year nor more than
the maximum operating privilege revocation period permitted for the refusal or
violation.
This bill requires a court to order the operating privileges of a person who
commits a first offense related to operating a vehicle while intoxicated, regardless
of his or her alcohol concentration, be restricted to operating vehicles that are
equipped with an ignition interlock device. The draft does not change the minimum
or maximum periods for the restriction.

Votes
Suspending the rules (to take a vote immediately) needs a two-thirds majority — a higher bar than passing the bill, which needs a simple majority. That's why a suspension motion can show more Ayes than the passage vote that follows it. Glossary
