Title: Expanding Drunk Driving Restrictions

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that enforces new restrictions for drivers convicted of driving with a blood-alcohol content higher than 0.15.

Highlights:

- Prohibits those convicted from driving again until ignition interlocks are installed on all household vehicles [Sec. 625 (26)]. - Defines ignition interlocks as a device that requires the motorist to take a built-in Breathalyzer test to measure their breath alcohol level, preventing the ignition from starting if the reading is 0.025 grams per 210 liters of breath or higher (Sec. 20B). - Requires those convicted to undergo an alcohol treatment program for at least one year [Sec. 625b (5)].

NOTE: THIS IS A SUBSTITUTE BILL, MEANING THE LANGUAGE OF THE ORIGINAL BILL HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE DEGREE TO WHICH THE SUBSTITUTE BILL TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION OF THE TEXT CAN VARY GREATLY.
