LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 421, as amended, Bradford. Ignition interlock devices. Vehicles: driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
Existing law prohibits a person who is under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or the combined influence of alcohol or drugs from driving a vehicle. A violation of this prohibition, generally, is punishable as a misdemeanor.
Existing law authorizes a court to offer misdemeanor diversion to criminal defendants which, contingent on successful completion of specified terms and conditions imposed by the court, results in the dismissal of charges prior to adjudication.
This bill would place requirements on misdemeanor diversion for persons charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs (DUI), as specified. The bill would limit diversion to persons who have no prior convictions for DUI, and who have not completed diversion for DUI within the past 10 years. The bill would require, as a condition of diversion, for the defendant to install an ignition interlock device, as specified, and to participate in education and counseling programs, as specified.
This bill would require the department to include diverted arrests in its tracking of DUI arrest and conviction data.
This bill would also require a violation for DUI that is dismissed pursuant to this diversion program to count as a prior conviction for purposes of subsequent convictions for driving under the influence, as specified.
Existing law, until January 1, 2026, requires a person, upon a criminal conviction for DUI with a prior conviction for DUI or for driving under the influence and causing injury, to install and maintain an ignition interlock device (IID) for a specified period of time. Existing law also authorizes a court, upon the first criminal conviction of a person for driving under the influence, to order the person to install and maintain an IID for a specified period of time, or, if the court does not order the installation of such a device, authorizes the person to apply for a restricted license.
This bill would instead require a person, upon the person’s first criminal conviction for DUI, to install and maintain an IID for a specified period of time. The bill would delete those provisions authorizing a restricted license in lieu of an IID for first offenders.
This bill would give credit towards the court-ordered term of IID installation for any period of time after the arrest that the person voluntarily installs and operates an IID.
This bill would place specified recordkeeping requirements upon manufacturers of IIDs.
The bill would also would extend the required term of IID installation by 60 days if, within the final 60 days of installation, a driver attempts to start the vehicle when a specified level of alcohol is detected.

Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to suspend or revoke a person’s driving privilege upon notification from a court showing that the person has been convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol or another drug, or another specified offense. Existing law, until January 1, 2026, authorizes a person who has had their driver’s license suspended by the department to be issued a restricted driver’s license if they meet specified criteria, including the installation and maintenance of an ignition interlock device (IID).

Existing law, until January 1, 2026, requires a person, upon a criminal conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol with a prior conviction for driving under the influence or for driving under the influence and causing injury, to install and maintain an IID for a specified period of time. Existing law also authorizes a court, upon the first criminal conviction of a person for driving under the influence, to order the person to install and maintain an IID for a specified period of time, or, if the court does not order the installation of such a device, authorizes the person to apply for a restricted license.

This bill would extend the operation of the above IID requirements until January 1, 2027.

 Section 1822 of the Vehicle Code is amended to read:

1822.
 The Legislature finds that driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs continues to be a primary safety issue on the state’s highways, and the major cause of traffic deaths.

This data shall include charges that are dismissed pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 1001.95 of the Penal Code.
