Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 2 mixed.
Half-price interlock costs for low-income drivers
If your license only allows driving with an ignition interlock, you can ask for lower costs. You qualify if your household income is at or below 150% of the federal poverty level, or you get food help, child care subsidy, or cash aid, or you qualify for low income energy help. If approved, you pay 50% of program costs and the manufacturer must cut your bill. The state set rules for how to apply by March 1, 2023.
State shielded from interlock device lawsuits
The state and its officers are not liable in civil or criminal cases that arise from using an approved ignition interlock device.
New state fees on interlock makers
Beginning July 1, 2025, manufacturers pay a one-time $10 fee for each device installed in Kansas. They also pay $5 each month for every device in use and maintained in Kansas; no monthly fee applies for devices used by people approved for reduced costs. Makers count devices and send these fees each month. The money goes into a new IID fee program fund to run and monitor the program. Manufacturers must also repay the highway patrol for costs to approve or reject a device.
Old interlock statute repealed
The law repeals K.S.A. 8-1016. This removes that section from state law. The repeal does not set new fees or benefits.
Stronger rules and 60-day device checks
The Kansas Highway Patrol sets rules for approving and using ignition interlock devices, including service networks and toll-free help. Manufacturers or their reps must inspect and calibrate each device at least every 60 days. Each visit checks for tampering, inspects wiring, calibrates, downloads data, and reports any violations to the division and highway patrol. Drivers with interlock limits must follow device use and upkeep rules.
