ignition interlock devices; violation; classification
HB 2886 requires drivers with certain license restrictions (such as those from DUI convictions under Arizona law) to operate only vehicles equipped with functioning certified ignition interlock devices. It prohibits lending vehicles to these drivers without the device and bans tampering with or circumventing the device, including having others "blow into" it to start the vehicle. Violating these rules results in a class 1 misdemeanor, with a class 6 felony penalty if a collision causing death or serious injury occurs. The bill also mandates proof of device installation to avoid license suspension and defines "substantial emergency" as a narrow exception. This directly affects individuals with restricted driving privileges and those lending them vehicles.
