HB 753 Summary

• Requires ignition interlock devices remain installed until the person meets compliance conditions, including no breath alcohol concentration violations of 0.04 or higher in the prior 180 days and no missed device maintenance appointments.

• Adds new subsections (l), (m), and (n) to Hawaii Revised Statutes § 291E-61 establishing compliance standards and allowing the Department of Transportation to adopt rules for managing the interlock program.

• Extends the license restriction period if a person fails to maintain an ignition interlock device for a continuous 180-day period, unless they receive a disability exemption from the Department of Transportation.

• Prevents individuals convicted of operating under the influence from "sitting out" the interlock period without a device by requiring compliance-based removal conditions and maintaining license restrictions until compliance is demonstrated.

• Takes effect January 28, 2081.
