What’s in it

AI summary People who have had their driver's licenses taken away for certain offenses would be allowed to apply for a new driver's license sooner under this law. If someone is convicted of their first operating while intoxicated offense, they would only have to install an ignition interlock device in the cars they actually drive instead of every car they own. These changes affect how the Department of Transportation handles license restrictions and ignition interlock requirements.1

Read the official explanation

_____ license to the person during the extended period. This bill strikes the prohibition. Under current law, if a person seeks a temporary restricted license following an operating-while-intoxicated (OWI) offense, the person is required to install an approved ignition interlock device on all motor vehicles owned or operated by the person. The bill requires a person seeking a temporary restricted license following a first OWI offense to install an approved ignition interlock device only on all motor vehicles operated by the person.
