HB 1884 Summary

• Adds new section to Chapter 291E requiring persons with revoked licenses or DUI/OVUII convictions to prove compliance with ignition interlock device (IID) requirements before becoming eligible for a driver's license.

• Establishes three compliance periods based on offense history: 60 consecutive days without violations for first offense; 90 consecutive days for offenses within 10 years of prior conviction; 180 consecutive days for habitual offenders with two or more prior offenses within 10 years.
