MN SF2174

Clarifies ignition interlock device program eligibility by distinguishing between participants with fewer than two qualified prior impaired driving incidents within 10 years (or fewer than three ever) who may apply for conditional reinstatement, versus those with two or more incidents within 10 years (or three or more ever) who may only apply for a limited license.

Expands limited license eligibility to include individuals whose licenses were revoked or suspended under criminal vehicular operation statutes (section 609.21) resulting in bodily harm, when they meet the prior incident thresholds specified in the amended language.

Requires limited license applicants to be enrolled in a licensed chemical dependency treatment or rehabilitation program and permits conditional reinstatement after completing treatment and one year of compliant limited license use without violating interlock restrictions.

Maintains requirement that ignition interlock devices be professionally installed and that participants carry insurance coverage on equipped vehicles; permits driving employer-owned vehicles without devices in normal course of employment with written consent.

All provisions effective July 1, 2014, except sections 2-6 which are effective the day following final enactment.
