The proposed bill would update current statutes related to special ignition interlock restricted driver licenses (SIIRDL) for individuals with multiple DUI offenses by removing the requirement that a person must complete 45 days of the license revocation period before applying for a SIIRDL. Instead, it would allow individuals to apply for a SIIRDL without this waiting period. Furthermore, the bill would expand the definition of programs requiring proof of participation or completion for license reinstatement to include court-ordered evidence-based psychotherapy. It would also permit individuals to provide proof of satisfactory participation in these programs and mandate ignition interlock manufacturers to share relevant information with licensed health professionals involved in the psychotherapy. Additionally, the bill aims to modernize DUI laws by maintaining the requirement for individuals convicted of DUI to use certified ignition interlock devices while modifying the language to include "evidence-based psychotherapy" as an acceptable program for reinstating driving privileges. It clarifies that courts may order completion of evidence-based psychotherapy and specifies the qualifications of licensed health professionals who can provide these services. The bill also removes outdated references to "evidence-based psychotherapy" and introduces new definitions and emphasizes the integration of scientific research with clinical expertise. Overall, these updates seek to streamline the process for regaining driving privileges while ensuring effective treatment for offenders.
