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.
