Congressional Approval of Interlocks ©2011 Mothers Against Drunk Driving MAP-21 (Highway Reauthorization Bill) – Congress and the Administration have now fully endorsed the use of ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers – Incentive grant program for states that pass all offender interlock laws. Pot is $20.8 million that DOT can divide up between states – Current proposal requires interlocks for 30 days in order to receive federal dollars. MADD would like to see at least 6 months – Ignition interlock programs are eligible for 405 funding – Section 164, federal repeat DUI offender program, was changed to allow states discretion in implementing their interlock program

Issues to Watch in the Next Highway Bill Funding will continue to be the biggest question. Interlock Sanctions Incentive Grant Program Exemptions – Employer – Rural – Medical ©2011 Mothers Against Drunk Driving

Parting Thoughts… The tide has now turned on interlocks, every highway safety group now endorses all offender laws. AAA, NHTSA, GHSA, NTSB, MADD, Advocates, NSC, Safe Kids, IACP, NABCA, the U.S. Congress Interlocks are perceived, in the short term, as the way forward on drunk driving. None of the other countermeasures come close. Traffic fatalities and DUI fatalities are up, but not in states where we have passed all offender laws. Interlock usage has increased from 101,000 to 305,000 today ©2011 Mothers Against Drunk Driving
