In a new letter, Advocates has urged Colorado Governor Jared Polis to sign into law House Bill (HB) 1242 to upgrade the ignition interlock device (IID). HB 1242 would require IID use by all convicted drunk driving offenders as a condition of license reinstatement by closing a loophole which enables certain first-time offenders to wait out license suspension without getting an IID. Additionally, the bill would enable drunk drivers who refused to be tested to install IIDs sooner.

Advocates previously joined safety partners to support HB 1242 in a March letter.
