New DUIs

DUI Offenders Ignition Interlock Device Pilot Project

AAA supports AB 91, authored by Assemblyman Mike Feuer (D-West Hollywood), which establishes a pilot project in the counties of Alameda, Sacramento, Tulare, and Los Angeles to mandate installation of an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) for first time DUI offenders. The IID must be installed on every vehicle that the offender owns or is allowed to operate. For a first offense that did not involve bodily injury, the IID must be installed for a mandatory five months. If the offense did involve bodily injury, the mandatory installation period is one year. For subsequent offenses, the mandatory installation period is longer. Effective July 1, 2010.
