Overview
Assembly Bill 1687, known as Irene’s Law, expands the circumstances under which a driver’s license can be revoked in California. Specifically, it allows the Department of Motor Vehicles to revoke a license for three or more DUI-related convictions within a 10-year period. While a standard revocation period of three years initially applies, it increases to eight years for those with multiple convictions, unless the individual installs and maintains an ignition interlock device, after which reinstatement is possible. This bill aims to address repeat DUI offenses and enhance public safety.
Key provisions
- Increases the number of DUI convictions required for license revocation to three within a 10-year period.
- Extends the revocation period to eight years for individuals with three or more DUI convictions within 10 years.
- Allows reinstatement of driving privileges with an ignition interlock device after eight years of revocation.
- Requires applicants to demonstrate financial responsibility for reinstatement.
- Establishes specific conditions for reinstatement, including completion of a DUI program and absence of other related offenses.
- Provides for immediate revocation termination and further revocation if the ignition interlock device is tampered with.
