Provides that any person whose driving privileges are suspended or revoked 2 or more times within a 10-year period because chemical testing revealed that the alcohol concentration in his or her blood exceeded the allowable limit, if issued a restricted driving permit, is required to have his or her vehicle equipped with a breath alcohol ignition interlock device. Provides that the restricted driving permit may not be issued until one year after the date the current revocation went into effect.
