Requires the court to notify the Department of Licensing (DOL) when an ignition interlock device (IID) restriction is imposed on a defendant and when such restriction is lifted. Requires the DOL to make or remove a notation on a defendant's driving record once it is notified by the court about the status of a defendant's IID restriction. Clarifies that it is a gross misdemeanor offense for a DUI offender to request a third party to blow or otherwise exhale into an IID in order to enable him or her to circumvent the device. Clarifies and makes technical amendments to the statutes that prohibit law enforcement officers from drawing blood from a person suspected of DUI without consent, a warrant, or exigent circumstances..
