HB 1577: DUI restricted licenses

Prescribing restricted drivers' licenses for alcohol violators.

Summary

Creates a new "restricted" driver's license that partially replaces the current "occupational" license, and requires any person applying for a restricted license to have an ignition interlock installed on his or her car.
Allows application for a restricted license by a driver who has been convicted of an offense that requires license loss (e.g., DUI) or who has lost his or her license administratively under the Implied Consent Law.
Makes the current "occupational" license apply only to drivers who have lost their privileges due to failure to pay fines.
