SACRAMENTO – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed AB 91 by Assemblymember Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles) which creates an ignition interlock device pilot program in four counties for every vehicle owned or operated by a first-time driving under the influence (DUI) offender.

The governor also signed SB 598 by Senator Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) allowing repeat DUI offenders to apply for a restricted license if they install an ignition interlock device on their vehicles. The ignition interlock device, an instrument that is installed to a motor vehicle’s dashboard, tests a person’s blood alcohol concentration before the vehicle’s motor can be started.

“I took action and signed these bills because we must do everything we can to ensure the public’s safety on the road,” said Schwarzenegger. “By installing ignition interlock devices we are making it harder for DUI offenders to get behind the wheel while intoxicated and we are working to save innocent lives.”

The following bills have been signed into law:

• AB 91 by Assemblymember Mike Feuer (D-Los Angeles) to create a Department of Motor Vehicles pilot project mandating the installation of an ignition interlock device on every vehicle owned or operated by a first-time DUI offender in Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Tulare counties.

• SB 598 by Senator Bob Huff (R-Diamond Bar) to allow a repeat DUI offender to apply for a restricted license, if he or she voluntarily installs ignition interlock devices on all of his or her vehicles.
