Introduced by Rep. Roger Goodman (KirkLand) (D) on February 2, 2011

This act requires a person convicted of reckless driving or negligent driving resulting from a DUI-related charge to install an ignition locking device on any vehicle within his or her control. This act requires ignition locking devices in any deferred prosecution for DUI-related convictions. This act requires alcohol use monitoring during any period of a mandatory license suspension. This act prohibits any person from receiving deferred prosecution more than twice for any DUI-related offense. This act also requires that sentences rendered for any offenses occurring simultaneous to a vehicular homicide to be served in total confinement and run consecutively with all other sentencing.   Official Text and Analysis.
