SB 1046, Hill. Driving under the influence: ignition interlock device.Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to immediately

suspend a person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle for a specified periodof time if the person has been convicted of driving a motor vehicle whenthe person had a certain blood-alcohol concentration. Existing law authorizescertain individuals, whose privilege is suspended pursuant to that provisionto receive a restricted driver’s license if specified requirements are met,including the elapse of specified periods of license suspension or revocation.

Existing law also requires the department to immediately suspend orrevoke a person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle if the person has beenconvicted of violating specified provisions prohibiting driving a motorvehicle under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or drug or the combinedinfluence of an alcoholic beverage and drug, or with 0.08% or more, byweight, of alcohol in his or her blood or while addicted to the use of anydrug, with or without bodily injury to another. Existing law authorizescertain individuals whose privilege is suspended or revoked pursuant to thatprovision to receive a restricted driver’s license if specified requirementsare met, including the elapse of specified periods of license suspension orrevocation and, in some instances, the installation of an ignition interlockdevice on the person’s vehicle. Existing law does not permit a person whohas been convicted of a first offense of driving a motor vehicle under theinfluence, with injury, to receive a restricted driver’s license.

Existing law also requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to establisha pilot program from July 1, 2010, to July 1, 2017, inclusive, in the Countiesof Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Tulare that requires, as acondition of being issued a restricted driver’s license, being reissued adriver’s license, or having the privilege to operate a motor vehicle reinstatedsubsequent to a conviction for any violation of the above offenses, a personto install for a specified period of time an ignition interlock device on allvehicles he or she owns or operates. Under existing law, the amount of time

91

the ignition interlock device is required to be installed is based upon thenumber of prior convictions suffered by the individual, as prescribed.

This bill would extend the pilot program in those counties until January1, 2019. Effective January 1, 2019, and until January 1, 2026, the bill wouldmake an individual whose license has been suspended for driving a motorvehicle when he or she has a certain blood-alcohol concentration and whois eligible for a restricted driver’s license eligible for a restricted driver’slicense without serving any period of the suspension if the person meets allother eligibility requirements and the person installs an ignition interlockdevice. The bill would authorize that individual to install an ignition interlockdevice prior to the effective date of the suspension and would require theindividual to receive credit towards the mandatory term to install an ignitioninterlock device, as specified. The bill would require the department toimmediately reinstate the suspension of the privilege to operate a motorvehicle upon receipt of notification that a person has engaged in certainactivities, including, among others, attempted to remove, bypass, or tamperwith the ignition interlock device.

The bill would also require, commencing January 1, 2019, and untilJanuary 1, 2026, a person who has been convicted of driving a motor vehicleunder the influence of an alcoholic beverage, as specified, to install for aspecified period of time an ignition interlock device on the vehicle, asordered by the court, that is the vehicle that he or she operates. The billwould, commencing January 1, 2019, and until January 1, 2026, alsoauthorize a person convicted of driving a motor vehicle under the influence,including a person who was convicted of a first offense of driving a motorvehicle under the influence, with injury, if all other requirements aresatisfied, including the installation of an ignition interlock device, to applyfor a restricted driver’s license without completing a period of licensesuspension or revocation. The bill would require the department to, if aperson maintains an ignition interlock device for the specified required time,reinstate the person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle at the time theother reinstatement requirements are satisfied. The bill would, commencingJanuary 1, 2019, and until January 1, 2026, authorize a court to require aperson convicted of a specified type of reckless driving to install a certifiedignition interlock device on any vehicle that the person operates and prohibitthat person from operating a motor vehicle unless that vehicle is equippedwith a functioning, certified ignition interlock device for a specified periodof time. The bill would require the Transportation Agency to issue a reportto the Legislature by January 1, 2025, regarding the implementation andefficacy of these provisions. The bill would reinstate current law as describedabove as of January 1, 2026.

The bill would also make conforming and clarifying changes.By specifying that certain crimes relating to ignition interlock devices

apply when an ignition interlock device is installed pursuant to the provisionsof this bill, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

Existing law establishes the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair,Home Furnishings, and Thermal Insulation under the supervision and control

of the Director of Consumer Affairs and requires the director to administerand enforce provisions relating to the registration of electronic and appliancerepair service dealers.

Existing law, the Automotive Repair Act, establishes the Bureau ofAutomotive Repair under the supervision and control of the Director ofConsumer Affairs and provides for the registration and regulation ofautomotive repair dealers. Existing law requires the bureau to adopt standardsfor installation, maintenance, and servicing of ignition interlock devices byautomotive repair dealers, and existing regulations authorizes automotiverepair dealers to install, maintain, and service an ignition interlock device.Existing law authorizes the director to deny, suspend, revoke, or place onprobation the registration of an automotive repair dealer for certain acts, asspecified. A violation of the act is a crime.

By expanding the definition of a crime,the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The bill would require, commencing January 1, 2019, until January 1,2026, an ignition interlock device manufacturer to be in compliance withspecified provisions relating to payment for the costs of an ignition interlockdevice and would require those manufacturers to provide information to anindividual who is required to install an ignition interlock device pursuantto a restricted driver’s license. The bill would make a violation of thoserequirements subject to a civil assessment not exceeding $1,000, as specified.
