New DUI Laws go Into Effect January 1, 2010

Two laws regarding DUI offenders will go into effect on New Year’s Day, 2010. The “Ignition Interlock Device” law establishes a pilot program in several counties, including Los Angeles, requiring the installation of ignition interlock devices on vehicles owned or operated by an individual convicted of any DUI offense. The device prevents vehicles from starting if alcohol is detected on the driver’s breath. Another bill will give repeat DUI offenders the opportunity to apply for a restricted driver’s license if they install such devices.
