What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, if a person is convicted of a second or subsequent offense

related to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or

other drug, with a prohibited alcohol concentration, or with a measurable amount

of a controlled substance in his or her blood (OWI offense) or a first OWI offense for

which his or her alcohol concentration is 0.15 or greater, a court must order the

person's operating privilege restricted to operating vehicles that are equipped with

an ignition interlock device. This bill expands the ignition interlock requirement to

all OWI offenses that involve the use of alcohol.
