Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
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 (IID) if a person commits a second or subsequent offense related to operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI offense) 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 his or her alcohol concentration is 0.15 or greater or after he or she has committed a prior OWI offense.
This bill requires a court to order the operating privileges of a person who commits any OWI offense, regardless of his or her alcohol concentration, to be restricted to operating vehicles that are equipped with an ignition interlock device.
