HB 2800 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

ignition interlock devices; violation; classification

HB 2800 requires individuals with limited or restricted driving privileges (due to prior DUI offenses) to operate vehicles equipped with a functioning certified ignition interlock device. It prohibits these individuals from allowing others to "breathe into" the device or tamper with it, and bans non-authorized people from tampering with the device for restricted drivers. Violations carry misdemeanor charges, with a felony penalty if a collision occurs while the vehicle is operated without the device. The bill directly affects drivers under court or department orders to use ignition interlocks, aiming to enforce compliance with safety requirements.

What changed between versions

House Engrossed Version (03/04/2026) Chaptered Version · 3 edits
MINOR
The bill was formally enacted into law as Chapter 259, replacing the House Engrossed version. While the core text of the ignition interlock statute remained largely the same, the final version includes minor formatting corrections and a specific capitalization adjustment in the penalty section to ensure the enhanced felony charge for fatal collisions is clearly emphasized.
TECHNICAL

The document structure changed from a draft 'House Engrossed' version to a final 'Chaptered' version, indicating the bill has been signed into law by the Governor.

Minor text cleanup occurred, including the removal of placeholder instructions like '(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)' and the addition of official filing dates (June 22, 2026).

ENFORCEMENT

In the penalty section, the phrase describing the felony charge for fatal collisions was capitalized ('INVOLVED') to ensure the severe penalty is clearly highlighted in the final legal text.
