FL H1573

Changes ignition interlock device requirements from "all vehicles" to "any vehicle" owned or operated by convicted DUI offenders, and requires installation only if the person qualifies for a permanent or restricted license.

Establishes objective standard for determining ability to pay for ignition interlock installation based on public defender eligibility or food stamp eligibility, and allows fines to be allocated toward installation costs.

Requires persons using ignition interlock-equipped vehicles to obtain a special ignition interlock-restricted driver's license, and extends interlock usage period by 3-6 months if an offender requests someone else to blow into the device.

Reduces annual vehicle license taxes across multiple categories (motorcycles, automobiles, trucks, heavy trucks, trailers, recreational vehicles, and dealer plates) and decreases various driver's license fees.

Increases ignition interlock device installation fee from $12 to $15 per installation, and allows DUI offenders to petition for restricted driver's license after 30 days (first offense), 180 days (second offense), or 360 days (third offense) following conviction if using an approved ignition interlock device.
