Official summary

Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.

Driving while intoxicated; pre-conviction ignition interlock for certain offenders. Permits a first-time or second-time offender charged with driving while intoxicated to obtain an ignition interlock pre-conviction. The bill allows the installation period of time accrued by such offender prior to trial for the pending charge to count toward any (i) ignition interlock or restricted license period of time ordered by the court or (ii) restricted license, suspension, or revocation issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles pursuant to relevant law. Current law prohibits the installation of an ignition interlock system until a court issues a restricted license. As introduced, this bill was a recommendation of the Commission on the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program.
