Summary

The bill lets a person convicted of a DUI who qualifies for a restricted driver’s license request, and a court order, a transdermal (skin‑contact) alcohol monitoring device rather than requiring them to drive only cars with an ignition interlock. The offender must cover all expenses for the device and cannot receive aid from the state’s electronic monitoring indigency fund. This provides an alternative way to monitor sobriety while preserving driving privileges.
