Advocates and other safety organizations have joined forces to support Assembly Bill (AB) 366 which will address California’s drunk driving crisis by protecting and expanding California’s ignition interlock device (IID) program to prevent impaired driving and save lives. California’s current IID program is set to expire at the end of 2025. If the Legislature fails to act, California will become the only state in the nation without an IID requirement, reversing decades of progress in protecting our roadways. AB 366 will prevent this by requiring IIDs for all DUI offenders, as 34 other states and the District of Columbia already have an all-offender IID requirement with demonstrated success on the impact of this proven prevention technology.
Per the CDC, states with laws requiring an IID for all offenders were associated with 26% fewer alcohol-impaired fatal crashes.
