Purpose of the Bill
This legislative bill aims to enhance public safety by modifying penalties and procedures related to driver's licenses for individuals who commit certain offenses, particularly those related to driving while impaired (DWI). It seeks to extend the duration of license revocations, adjust participation requirements in the ignition interlock program, and mandate completion of treatment or rehabilitation programs for eligible offenders.
Main Provisions
- License Revocation Changes: The bill extends the time periods for which a driver's license can be revoked following certain impaired driving violations. For instance, repeat offenders could face revocation periods ranging from one to six years based on the number of prior offenses.
- Ignition Interlock Program Requirements: All individuals required to participate in the ignition interlock program must now complete a treatment or rehabilitation program before having their full driving privileges reinstated.
- Reinstatement Conditions: Offenders who have accumulated multiple impaired driving incidents must participate in the ignition interlock program and complete substance use disorder treatment to regain full driving privileges.
- New Statutes and Repeals: Several existing statutory provisions related to DWI convictions and license revocations are repealed, and new codes are introduced to streamline the process and enforcement.
Significant Changes to Existing Law
- Extension of Revocation Periods: The bill increases the duration of revocations for both test refusal and test failure in DWI cases.
- Mandatory Treatment Programs: It mandates that all ignition interlock participants complete treatment or rehabilitation.
- License Reinstatement Criteria: Establishes stricter guidelines for the reinstatement of driving privileges, requiring proof of treatment completion and abstinence from substance use.
- Consequences for Program Violations: Defines penalties for individuals who violate conditions of their restricted licenses, which could extend the duration of interlock device requirements.
- Repeal of Previous Provisions: Elimination of certain existing statutes to incorporate new, consolidated regulations.
