Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
7 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 6 costs, 0 mixed.
Alcohol violations extend reduced interlock periods
This rule covers participants whose required interlock period was reduced and whose driving privileges are not fully restored. A device reading of 0.02% or higher requires an extension. An alcohol-related conviction or juvenile delinquency finding also triggers an extension. The extension lasts until the driver demonstrates abstinence for a period equal to the applicable reduced interlock period.
License limits after failed or refused tests
With no qualifying prior impaired-driving incident in 20 years, refusing a covered test means at least one year's license revocation. Covered refusals include warrant-authorized testing. A failed test showing alcohol of 0.08% or more, or a specified drug or metabolite, generally means at least 90 days. Without that prior history, the minimum is 180 days for drivers under 21 testing below twice the legal limit, or one year at twice the limit or higher. For either test action, one qualifying prior incident within 20 years—or two or more overall—keeps driving privileges revoked until required ignition-interlock time is complete.
License limits after impaired-driving convictions
These rules cover impaired-driving convictions and other listed convictions that require license revocation. With no qualifying prior incident in 20 years, minimum revocation is 30 days for impaired driving or 90 days for test refusal. The minimum is 180 days for drivers under 21 testing below twice the legal limit, or one year at twice the limit or higher. Department records showing personal injury or death add at least 90 days. Drivers with one qualifying prior incident within 20 years—or two or more overall—remain revoked until required ignition-interlock time is complete.
License restrictions for drivers causing injuries
Covered violations causing bodily harm or substantial bodily harm to another person bring at least two years of license revocation. A qualifying prior impaired-driving incident within ten years raises that minimum to four years. State impaired-driving counting rules determine which prior incidents count. After specified criminal vehicular operation convictions, driving privileges remain revoked until the commissioner confirms completion of the required ignition-interlock period.
Long license bans after vehicle deaths
Specified criminal vehicular homicide convictions trigger long license revocations when the licensing commissioner receives the conviction record. The minimum is six years with no qualifying prior impaired-driving incidents. One qualifying prior incident raises the minimum to 15 years. Two or more mean lifetime revocation.
Repeat impaired drivers face rehabilitation requirements
Specified convictions cancel licenses for drivers with two or more qualifying prior impaired-driving incidents; another license requires compliance and proven rehabilitation. Treatment and interlock requirements cover test-related or impaired-driving revocations with one qualifying prior incident in 20 years, or two or more overall. They also cover specified criminal vehicular operation revocations with one prior incident. Covered drivers cannot operate motor vehicles, off-road recreational vehicles, or motorboats without participating in the ignition-interlock program. Full restoration requires licensed substance-use treatment or rehabilitation, proof of completion, and at least two, five, six, eight, or ten years of interlock participation. The required period depends on the covered conviction, prior incidents, and harm caused.
Suspended drivers get credit toward revocation
Drivers suspended under the covered pre-conviction suspension law receive credit if later convicted of the underlying offense and revoked. Time already spent suspended counts toward the later revocation period. The credit covers specified criminal vehicular operation, vehicular homicide, manslaughter, and related vehicle-offense revocations. It reduces the remaining revocation time by recognizing suspension time already served.
