House Bill No. by Representative Villio amends R.S. 14:334(A) to expand the scope of individuals prohibited from operating a motor vehicle without an ignition interlock device. The bill retains the existing prohibition for individuals required to have an ignition interlock device due to bail conditions and adds a new provision that includes those required to have the device as a condition of probation. This change aims to enhance compliance with ignition interlock requirements and improve road safety.

The bill specifically inserts references to the Code of Criminal Procedure, indicating that individuals under probation conditions must also adhere to the same restrictions as those under bail conditions. The amended law clarifies that these individuals cannot operate, lease, or borrow a vehicle unless it is equipped with a functioning ignition interlock device, nor can they solicit someone else to assist them in circumventing this requirement.
