Drunk Driving Offenses - Expungement and the Ignition Interlock System Program

HB 105 allows individuals in Maryland to petition for the expungement of their records following a probation before judgment for driving while impaired or under the influence, provided they meet specific legal criteria. The bill also mandates that the Motor Vehicle Administration require certain convicted drunk drivers to participate in the Ignition Interlock System Program for designated periods. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that a participant's enrollment in the program is considered to begin on the day the ignition interlock device is installed in their vehicle, rather than at the time of conviction. These changes aim to streamline record relief for eligible offenders while enforcing stricter monitoring for those convicted of serious driving offenses.
