PA HB1862

Replaces the "ignition interlock limited license" with a new "ignition interlock driver's license" system for DUI offenders, requiring installation of an approved ignition interlock device that prevents vehicle operation if the driver's breath alcohol level is 0.025% or higher.

Creates a one-year ignition interlock requirement following operating privilege restoration for DUI violations under Section 3802 or chemical testing refusals under Section 1547, with credit available for time served with the device during a suspension period.

Establishes an online portal through PennDOT for ignition interlock driver's license services, including initial applications, vehicle-to-vehicle device transfers, adding/removing vehicles, and applying for device removal after completing program obligations.

Allows participants in treatment courts recognized by the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts to be eligible for an ignition interlock driver's license, with successful program completion potentially resulting in operating privilege reinstatement without restoration fees.

Authorizes paramedics to perform legal blood draws for law enforcement on persons suspected of DUI-related offenses, with liability protections and permission for law enforcement officers who witnessed the draw to testify on chain of custody.
