IID Restriction
Beginning January 1, 2019, if convicted of your first Vehicle Code Section 23152 DUI-related San Diego offense, you may be legally required to have an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) installed on your vehicle attorneys recently announced.
At least you’ll be able to get your driving privileges reinstated; that DUI IID option would be monitored by DMV, San Diego DUI lawyers are told.
The below SB 1046 bill passed unanimously in the California Senate a few years ago, requiring drunk driving offenders to have ignition interlock devices installed in their vehicles. The bill was ultimately approved by the California Assembly. It now goes into effect for any DUI offenses which happen after January 1, 2019 in order to obtain an IID Reinstatement of driving privileges.
If convicted for a San Diego California DUI – even for the 1st time – you may be compelled to install an IID in your vehicle: 1) The court could order it. 2) The DMV requires it for an IID Reinstatement. That means you would have to blow alcohol-free in a breathalyzer to start your vehicle.
For a first offender to Reinstate driving privileges (or obtain a Restricted License), as long as you’re not a refusal, you would need to:
- File SR-22,
- Enroll in alcohol program, and
- Pay DMV reissue fees, and if you want immediate full reinstatement of driving privileges –
- Install IID for six months or until you complete program if a 9 month first conviction program OR
- Get a 12 month license restriction without installing an IID but understand the court may still separately order an IID for 1 to 3 years.
Proof of these items can also be mailed to:
Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
MSJ 233, Attention: MAU IID Reinstatement
2570 24th Street, Sacramento, CA 95818
For a second DUI offender, do the same one through four items above.
Those who voted in favor of Thirteenth District Senator Jerry Hill’s proposed law said repeat offenders are 1 out of every 3 DUI convictions in California; however, 1st time offender information was not being fully provided by proponents. They don’t care. The U.S. Center for Disease Control reportedly found the IID’s cut drunk driving recidivism by 67%.
Previously in California, generally ignition interlock devices may or may not have been part of a DUI sentence. However, they have been frequently ordered as part of a San Diego Superior Court DUI sentence at the discretion of the judge, when the DUI involved certain circumstances such as:
- A high blood alcohol content (BAC)
- A chemical test refusal
- Multiple DUI’s
“Drunk Drivers are responsible for killing 10,000 people on the road every year,” California Assembly members said. “Advancing the progress we’ve made combating drunk driving demands bold action.”

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST
SB 1046, Hill. Driving under the influence: ignition interlock device.
Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to immediately suspend a person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle for a specified period of time if the person has been convicted of driving a motor vehicle when the person had a certain blood-alcohol concentration. Existing law authorizes certain individuals, whose privilege is suspended pursuant to that provision to receive a restricted driver’s license if specified requirements are met, including the elapse of specified periods of license suspension or revocation.
Existing law also requires the department to immediately suspend or revoke a person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle if the person has been convicted of violating specified provisions prohibiting driving a motor vehicle under the influence of an alcoholic beverage or drug or the combined influence of an alcoholic beverage and drug, or with 0.08% or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood or while addicted to the use of any drug, with or without bodily injury to another. Existing law authorizes certain individuals whose privilege is suspended or revoked pursuant to that provision to receive a restricted driver’s license if specified requirements are met, including the elapse of specified periods of license suspension or revocation and, in some instances, the installation of an ignition interlock device on the person’s vehicle. Existing law does not permit a person who has been convicted of a first offense of driving a motor vehicle under the influence, with injury, to receive a restricted driver’s license.
Existing law also requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to establish a pilot program from July 1, 2010, to July 1, 2017, inclusive, in the Counties of Alameda, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Tulare that requires, as a condition of being issued a restricted driver’s license, being reissued a driver’s license, or having the privilege to operate a motor vehicle reinstated subsequent to a conviction for any violation of the above offenses, a person to install for a specified period of time an ignition interlock device on all vehicles he or she owns or operates. Under existing law, the amount of time the ignition interlock device is required to be installed is based upon the number of prior convictions suffered by the individual, as prescribed.
This bill would extend the pilot program in those counties until January 1, 2019. Effective January 1, 2019, and until January 1, 2026, the bill would make an individual whose license has been suspended for driving a motor vehicle when he or she has a certain blood-alcohol concentration and who is eligible for a restricted driver’s license eligible for a restricted driver’s license without serving any period of the suspension if the person meets all other eligibility requirements and the person installs an ignition interlock device. The bill would authorize that individual to install an ignition interlock device prior to the effective date of the suspension and would require the individual to receive credit towards the mandatory term to install an ignition interlock device, as specified. The bill would require the department to immediately reinstate the suspension of the privilege to operate a motor vehicle upon receipt of notification that a person has engaged in certain activities, including, among others, attempted to remove, bypass, or tamper with the ignition interlock device.
The bill would also require, commencing January 1, 2019, and until January 1, 2026, a person who has been convicted of driving a motor vehicle under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, as specified, to install for a specified period of time an ignition interlock device on the vehicle, as ordered by the court, that is the vehicle that he or she operates. The bill would, commencing January 1, 2019, and until January 1, 2026, also authorize a person convicted of driving a motor vehicle under the influence, including a person who was convicted of a first offense of driving a motor vehicle under the influence, with injury, if all other requirements are satisfied, including the installation of an ignition interlock device, to apply for a restricted driver’s license without completing a period of license suspension or revocation. The bill would require the department to, if a person maintains an ignition interlock device for the specified required time, reinstate the person’s privilege to operate a motor vehicle at the time the other reinstatement requirements are satisfied. The bill would, commencing January 1, 2019, and until January 1, 2026, authorize a court to require a person convicted of a specified type of reckless driving to install a certified ignition interlock device on any vehicle that the person operates and prohibit that person from operating a motor vehicle unless that vehicle is equipped with a functioning, certified ignition interlock device for a specified period of time. The bill would require the Transportation Agency to issue a report to the Legislature by January 1, 2025, regarding the implementation and efficacy of these provisions. The bill would reinstate current law as described above as of January 1, 2026.
The bill would also make conforming and clarifying changes.
By specifying that certain crimes relating to ignition interlock devices apply when an ignition interlock device is installed pursuant to the provisions of this bill, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
Existing law establishes the Bureau of Electronic and Appliance Repair, Home Furnishings, and Thermal Insulation under the supervision and control of the Director of Consumer Affairs and requires the director to administer and enforce provisions relating to the registration of electronic and appliance repair service dealers. Existing law authorizes the director to deny, suspend, revoke, or place on probation the registration of a service dealer for any of certain acts, as specified. Existing law authorizes a service dealer licensed under these provisions to install, calibrate, service, maintain, and monitor ignition interlock devices. A violation of these provisions is punishable as a misdemeanor.
Existing law, the Automotive Repair Act, establishes the Bureau of Automotive Repair under the supervision and control of the Director of Consumer Affairs and provides for the registration and regulation of automotive repair dealers. Existing law requires the bureau to adopt standards for installation, maintenance, and servicing of ignition interlock devices by automotive repair dealers, and existing regulations authorizes automotive repair dealers to install, maintain, and service an ignition interlock device. Existing law authorizes the director to deny, suspend, revoke, or place on probation the registration of an automotive repair dealer for certain acts, as specified. A violation of the act is a crime.
This bill would authorize the director to issue a citation to, or suspend, revoke, or place on probation the registration of an automotive repair dealer or service dealer who installs, calibrates, services, maintains, or monitors ignition interlock devices if the automotive repair dealer or service dealer is not in compliance with specified provisions relating to payment for the costs of an ignition interlock device and would require an automotive repair dealer or service dealer to provide that information to an individual receiving ignition interlock device services. By expanding the definition of a crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The bill would require, commencing January 1, 2019, until January 1, 2026, an ignition interlock device manufacturer to be in compliance with specified provisions relating to payment for the costs of an ignition interlock device and would require those manufacturers to provide information to an individual who is required to install an ignition interlock device pursuant to a restricted driver’s license. The bill would make a violation of those requirements subject to a civil assessment not exceeding $1,000, as specified.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
