What’s in it
AI summary People ordered to join a sobriety and drug monitoring program can now get a temporary driver's license before they start testing or participating. They no longer have to install ignition interlock devices on all their vehicles just to join the program, though they must still provide proof that they have installed them on all their vehicles before they finish the program. This change does not remove any other rules that might require a person to use an interlock device based on their original offense.1
