CT HB05385

First-time DUI offenders may choose between a one-year license suspension or a six-month suspension followed by one year of mandatory ignition interlock device use.

Second-time DUI offenders within ten years may choose between a three-year license suspension or a one-year suspension followed by two years of mandatory ignition interlock device use.

Third and subsequent DUI offenders within ten years face permanent license revocation with no ignition interlock alternative.

All costs for installing, maintaining, and administering ignition interlock devices are borne by the offender.

Persons whose license is revoked can request a hearing after six years and may have revocation reversed if they install and maintain an ignition interlock device for four years from the date of reversal.
