HB 241 Summary
-
Amends Idaho Code sections 18-8002 and 18-8002A to revise ignition interlock device installation requirements for drivers who refuse or fail alcohol/drug testing
-
Allows persons ordered to install an ignition interlock device to petition a court for relief in their county of residence (or Ada County if no Idaho residence) within 30 days of the installation order, with the requirement stayed during any pending petition
-
Establishes that courts may only grant relief from interlock installation upon finding clear and convincing evidence that the person poses no danger to the public or that exceptional/mitigating circumstances exist; financial hardship alone is insufficient
-
Permits courts to determine financial hardship eligibility for funds from the court interlock device and electronic monitoring device fund to cover installation and operation costs
-
Makes technical corrections and clarifications to judicial review procedures and interlock system requirements under both sections
