This bill proposes several updates to existing statutes related to driving under the influence in Arizona. Key changes include the removal of specific consecutive day requirements for jail sentences, allowing for a minimum jail time of ten days for certain offenses without the need for consecutive days. Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for home detention for first-time offenders of section 28-1383, allowing them to request a hearing to determine eligibility for home detention while their appeal is pending. This home detention would require the installation of a certified ignition interlock device in any vehicle operated by the individual.

Furthermore, the bill expands eligibility for special ignition interlock restricted driver licenses to individuals whose driving privileges are revoked for certain alcohol-related offenses, including class 4, 5, or 6 felonies. It also emphasizes the importance of evidence-based psychotherapy as part of the treatment requirements for individuals with suspended or revoked licenses. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the approach to DUI offenses by incorporating more flexible sentencing options and enhancing rehabilitation measures.
