AI Summary

  • Requires all DUI offenders to install functioning ignition interlock devices (IIDs) in vehicles, eliminating previous restrictions that exempted first offenders with blood alcohol concentration below .15

  • Expands IID requirements to apply immediately upon conviction for DUI under §4177(e), rather than only for those with higher BAC levels or refused chemical tests

  • Establishes graduated timelines for obtaining IID licenses based on offense number and BAC level, ranging from 1 month (first offense, BAC below .15) to 60 days (first offense, BAC .15 or greater)

  • Consolidates and reorganizes IID program provisions previously separated into voluntary (§4177F) and mandatory (§4177G) programs into unified requirements under §4177C and §4177F

  • Removes the FOE-IID (First Offense Election-Ignition Interlock Device) Diversion program that allowed eligible first offenders to avoid mandatory IID installation
