To require the Secretary of State to suspend the drivers license and require an alcohol detection ignition interlock device of a person who has prior convictions and is convicted of drunk driving. If the person has one prior conviction within seven years, a suspension would up to two years and the interlock device would have to be installed for at least two years; if two prior convictions, up to a three year suspension and the device installed for three years; if three prior convictions, up to a five year suspension and the device installed for five years. The first 45 days would be a “hard suspension” (not even allowed to drive to work). Under current law, the "hard suspension" for repeat offenders is one year, but the bill's mandated interlock period provisions do not apply.
