The bill amends existing laws related to the revocation of driver licenses in Oklahoma, specifically focusing on the Impaired Driver Accountability Program (IDAP) and the refusal to submit to testing for alcohol or drugs. It transfers the administration of IDAP from the Department of Public Safety to the Board of Tests for Alcohol and Drug Influence, which will charge an administrative fee of $150 for participation in the program. The bill updates statutory language and establishes requirements for program participation, including the installation of ignition interlock devices, criteria for medical exemptions, and provisions for employer exceptions. Notably, it modifies the requirement for a violation-free period to demonstrate compliance, changing the language from "violation free" to "violation-free."

Additionally, the bill outlines the process for individuals who enroll in IDAP after receiving a notice of revocation, allowing their driving records to be updated to indicate completion of the program without revocation, provided they meet specific criteria. It also clarifies the conditions under which a driver's license may be revoked if a person refuses to submit to testing, emphasizing the need for probable cause in certain situations. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
