Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Defines "continuous alcohol monitoring device" as a device that automatically tests breath, blood, or transdermal alcohol concentration levels at least once every hour and detects tamper attempts, regardless of the location of the person who is being monitored, and regularly transmits such data. Provides that if a person is found guilty of driving while his or her driving privileges are suspended for a fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, or ninth time and the license suspension was for a conviction of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or other prohibited substances or a summary suspension under the implied consent provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that person is guilty of a Class 4 felony and must serve a minimum term of imprisonment of 180 days or serve a minimum of 60 days and abstain from consuming alcohol while wearing a continuous alcohol monitoring device to verify compliance for 270 days (rather than being guilty of a Class 4 felony and serving a minimum term of imprisonment of 180 days). Provides that for a tenth, eleventh, twelfth, thirteenth, or fourteenth violation of the same, after a term of imprisonment, the person shall abstain from consuming alcohol and wear a continuous alcohol monitoring device to verify compliance for 365 days.
House Committee Amendment No. 1 Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the introduced bill and makes the following changes. Provides that if a person is found guilty of driving while his or her driving privileges are suspended for a fifteenth or subsequent violation and the license suspension was for a conviction of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or other prohibited substances or a summary suspension under the implied consent provisions of the Illinois Vehicle Code, that person is guilty of a Class 2 felony, is not eligible for probation or conditional discharge, and upon release, the person must abstain from consuming alcohol and wear a continuous alcohol monitoring device to verify compliance for 365 days after imprisonment. Provides that a person required to wear a continuous alcohol monitoring device is responsible for all costs of the device.
