AI Summary

  • Expands driving with a suspended or revoked license to include those whose licenses were suspended for reckless driving resulting in injury (Sections 23104 or 23105), in addition to existing DUI-related suspensions under Section 14601.2.

  • Requires mandatory minimum jail time for violations: persons convicted must serve minimum imprisonment periods specified in Section 14601.2 (for DUI-related suspensions) or Section 14601 (for reckless driving suspensions), with no work release or community service allowed before minimum term is served.

  • Mandates installation of certified ignition interlock devices on all vehicles owned or operated by convicted persons, with specific terms of one to three years depending on prior conviction history, when Section 23573 applies.

  • Requires court to impose ignition interlock device installation as condition of probation when prosecution and defendant agree to plea as substitute for original charges.

  • Specifies no state reimbursement is required because the act only changes penalties for existing crimes within the meaning of Government Code Section 17556.
