Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Repeat DUI drivers can seek licenses sooner

People whose license is revoked for a specified repeat DUI can seek a special interlock-restricted license without waiting 45 days. They must still meet the other eligibility rules for that license.

More psychotherapy options in DUI cases

After certain DUI convictions, a judge can order more education, treatment, or evidence-based psychotherapy. You generally pay for ordered care, but the court can waive some or all costs based on ability to pay. Approved care can come from psychologists and other Arizona-licensed professionals authorized to provide psychotherapy. For certain extreme DUI cases, psychotherapy can count toward program requirements and affect when a longer-than-12-month interlock period starts; providers can request specified interlock records, including reports of tampering or failed tests.

DUI education no longer counts alone

For certain DUI convictions, education alone no longer meets the listed requirements for sentence suspension or interlock relief. A person seeking that relief must complete screening, a treatment program, or evidence-based psychotherapy instead.
