A person whose driver’s license is revoked under the bill is not eligible to receive a driver’s license unless the person obtains a temporary restricted license (TRL) first. A person is eligible to be issued a TRL if the person installs an ISAD on the person’s vehicle. A TRL issued pursuant to the bill is valid for one year. A person who operates a motor vehicle without an ISAD installed, or who tampers with, circumvents, or removes an ISAD without authorization, is subject to cancellation of the TRL. The commissioner of public safety is required to adopt administrative rules regarding ISAD vendor requirements, ISAD financial assistance eligibility, and other ISAD processes and requirements. The bill provides liability limitations and reporting requirements. By operation of law, a person who does an act forbidden or fails to perform an act required by the bill commits a simple misdemeanor. A simple misdemeanor is punishable by confinement for no more than days and a fine of at least $105 but not more than $855. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026.
