Extending Ignition Interlock Device Rules

What This Bill Does
- Extends existing laws requiring certain drivers to install ignition interlock devices until January 1, 2033.
- Keeps rules that allow some convicted drivers to get a restricted license without waiting out their full suspension if they use the device.
- Updates deadlines so state agencies must report new data on the program's success by July 1, 2031.
- Sets a date for these reporting requirements to end on July 1, 2035.
Who It Names or Affects
- Drivers convicted of driving under the influence who must install ignition interlock devices.

- State lawmakers who receive reports about the program's outcomes.
