INTERLOCK FOR DRIVING ON REVOKED LICENSE
SB 40 requires individuals convicted of driving with a revoked license to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in their vehicle and obtain an ignition interlock license. This license, valid for four or eight years, allows driving only with the IID installed, and the device may be removed without court approval. The bill also designates driving on a revoked license as a "case of record" in metropolitan court, making it subject to specific penalties under amended law. It affects people convicted of this offense, adding IID requirements to existing fines and potential jail time. The bill was introduced in 2025 but was postponed indefinitely in June 2025.
