• With a 39-0 vote, the state Senate Thursday passed Senate Bill 1046 authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, to require ignition interlock devices for DUI offenders and expand a current four-county IID pilot program statewide. The bipartisan vote sends the legislation to Gov. Jerry Brown for consideration.
If approved by the governor, Senate Bill 1046 would require as of Jan. 1, 2019, individuals convicted of driving under the influence to install and maintain an ignition interlock device. The legislation would expand the pilot program currently in place in Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Tulare counties statewide with minor modifications.
The current four-county pilot program would continue until Jan. 1, 2019, when the statewide expanded program begins.
