The bill H.F. No. 2130 aims to enhance public safety by extending the duration of driver's license revocations for offenses related to driving while impaired (DWI) and modifying the requirements for participation in the ignition interlock program. It mandates that individuals must complete a licensed substance use disorder treatment program before regaining full driving privileges. The bill introduces criminal penalties for operating vehicles without an ignition interlock device and makes criminal vehicular homicide offenders eligible for the ignition interlock program. Key amendments include the deletion of specific revocation periods based on prior incidents and the insertion of a more flexible framework for license revocation and reinstatement, allowing the commissioner to revoke licenses as provided in section 171.178.

Additionally, the bill establishes new criminal offenses related to tampering with registration plates and modifies the duration of temporary driver's licenses issued after a DWI from seven to 14 days. It introduces a gross misdemeanor charge for driving without a functioning ignition interlock device, effective August 1, 2025, and emphasizes rehabilitation before reinstating driving privileges for individuals with multiple impaired driving incidents. The bill also outlines specific timeframes for participation in the ignition interlock program based on the severity of the offense and prior history, while allowing for judicial review of license revocation extensions and updating definitions related to the ignition interlock program. Overall, the bill seeks to strengthen DWI law enforcement and improve the effectiveness of the ignition interlock program.
