Summary
This bill reforms Pennsylvania's DUI laws by replacing the current ignition interlock limited license with a new ignition interlock driver's license. It affects individuals convicted of DUI by allowing them to get this special license during their suspension period, rather than after, provided they install an interlock device. This matters because it aims to increase compliance with interlock requirements while allowing eligible drivers to maintain limited driving privileges for work or treatment.
