HB 6230 Summary

• Authorizes the Department of State to assess nonrefundable application fees not exceeding $3,000 and administrative/renewal fees for certification and inspection of breath alcohol ignition interlock devices (BAIIDs), with collected fees credited to the transportation administration collection fund.

• Replaces vague language ("shall") with "must" throughout the statute for clarity in describing mandatory requirements for BAIID manufacturers, service centers, and installers.

• Adds new eligibility restriction prohibiting individuals convicted of alcohol-related driving offenses or felonies within 5 years from serving as BAIID service center owners.

• Clarifies that inspection costs must be paid from the transportation administration collection fund rather than directly by manufacturers, and specifies the effective date of prior amendments as June 6, 2016.

• Corrects statutory cross-references to section 10b(1)(l) of the motor vehicle service and repair act regarding mechanic specialty certifications for BAIID installation and service.
