STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS07926
Section 18-8010, Idaho Code, imposes a $15.00
surcharge, in addition to other fines and costs, on persons
who commit driving under the influence (DUI) offenses which
is deposited into a special county "court interlock device
and electronic monitoring device fund" for the purchase of
motor vehicle interlock devices and electronic monitoring
equipment.
Monies in the fund may also be expended for the
purpose of providing probation programs for persons
convicted of DUI offenses.
However, not all persons who drive under the influence
of alcohol or drugs are apprehended and subsequently
convicted of a DUI offense.
This bill amends Section 18-8010, Idaho Code, to provide
that in addition to motor vehicle interlock devices and
electronic monitoring equipment, monies in the fund may also
be used for any alcohol or drug abuse related probation,
treatment, or prevention programs for adults or juveniles as
an intervention to future drunken driving offenses before
they occur.
FISCAL NOTE
This bill only expands the authorized uses of the
court interlock fund and does not add more revenue to
the fund or create more costs on county government.
