Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill makes numerous changes regarding the operation of a motor vehicle
while intoxicated or under the influence of a controlled substance (OWI), including
the following:

1. Currently, an occupational license is issued for limited purposes to persons
who do not have a regular license to operate a motor vehicle because that license is
suspended or revoked. Under current law, if an occupational license applicant's
suspension or revocation is because of an OWI offense and the OWI offense is the
person's second OWI offense, the occupational license restricts the person to
operating a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device. This bill requires the
occupational license to restrict the person to operating a vehicle equipped with an
ignition interlock device after the first OWI offense.
2. Currently, a person who commits an OWI offense is required to submit to an
assessment of the offender's use of an intoxicant. If the assessing facility determines
that the offender needs treatment, it submits a report of the assessment and driver
safety plan to the offender, the county agency involved in alcohol treatment, and the
Department of Transportation (DOT). The driver safety plan may require treatment
for the offender's misuse of intoxicants or controlled substances and attendance at
a traffic safety school. This bill requires the driver safety plan to include treatment
for the offender's misuse of intoxicants or controlled substances or attendance at a
traffic safety school, or both, if the offender has more than one OWI offense.
3. Under current law, if a person who commits an OWI offense, including a
refusal to submit to a test to determine his or her blood alcohol concentration (BAC),
has one or more previous OWI offenses, the court may order that the vehicle used
during the offense be immobilized or that the offender's operating privilege be
limited to driving a vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device. This bill
removes the option of immobilization of the motor vehicle. Instead, the bill allows
the court, as part of the penalty for a first OWI offense in which the offender had a
BAC of 0.12 or more, to restrict the offender's operating privilege to driving a vehicle
equipped with an ignition interlock device. The bill also requires the court to restrict
the offender's operating privilege to driving a vehicle equipped with an ignition
interlock device if the person has one or more previous OWI offenses.
4. Current law requires the DOT to tabulate and analyze all accident reports
and not less than annually publish statistical information about the number and
circumstances of traffic accidents. This bill requires DOT to publish that
information at least monthly and requires that the information include the number
of accidents in which the consumption of intoxicants or controlled substances were
contributing factors and the amount of intoxicants or controlled substances that
were in the blood of the drivers involved in those accidents.
5. The bill changes the operating privilege restrictions and monetary and
imprisonment penalties for OWI offenses as follows:
Under the bill, each time DOT receives a record of conviction from a court
showing that a person has been convicted of OWI, DOT must publish a notice in the
official newspaper of the county where the conviction occurred or the person resides
containing the person's name, age, and last-known residence address and the
person's total number of OWI convictions.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
