Provides relative to ignition interlock devices. (8/1/23)
Proposed law provides that the Office of State Police, Applied Technology Unit shall establish and monitor compliance with an
ignition interlock affordability plan with no fees for individuals that demonstrate economic hardship (i.e. recipients of SNAP,
Medicaid, Social Security, SSDI, and an indigent public defender when the defendant is below 125% FPL). Effective
8/01/2024, proposed law provides that State Police must investigate all complaints regarding an ignition interlock
manufacturer or service center within 30 days. If a complaint is substantiated, proposed law authorizes State Police to issue
warnings, suspension, or revocation of certification and allows appeals by the manufacturer or service center. Proposed law
changes requirements for credit toward suspension from a combination or repeat of 2 of 8 listed violations to only 1 of the
listed violations. Proposed law provides that upon notification of a violation, the period that an ignition interlock device is
required and restricted driver’s license shall be extended by 1 month (1st offense) or 6 months (2nd or subsequent offense).
Proposed law effective 8/01/2023.
