California Assembly Holds Hearing on Ignition Interlock Bill
The California Assembly Public Safety Committee will hold a hearing today on AB 91, a proposed bill that would create a pilot program requiring all convicted DUI drivers in four counties to install and use an ignition interlock device.
If passed, AB 91 will require all drivers convicted of DUI in Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento and Alameda counties between July 1, 2010 and July 1, 2015 to use an ignition interlock device. Those four counties account for 40 percent of all DUI arrests in California.
Ignition interlock devices prevent a vehicle from starting if the driver is unable to provide an alcohol-free breath sample. The device also requires the driver to perform periodic “rolling retests” to ensure that he or she remains alcohol-free.
