Ignition interlock device requirement expansion
Under current law, if a person is convicted of a second or subsequent offense related to operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of an intoxicant or other drug, with a prohibited alcohol concentration, or with a measurable amount of a controlled substance in his or her blood (OWI offense) or a first OWI offense for which his or her alcohol concentration is 0.15 or greater, a court must order the person's operating privilege restricted to operating vehicles that are equipped with an ignition interlock device. This bill expands the ignition interlock requirement to all OWI offenses that involve the use of alcohol.
