Requires installation of ignition interlock device if sentence for DWI is stayed pending appeal.

This bill requires courts to mandate installation of an ignition interlock device in a person's principal vehicle whenever a stay of sentence is granted for a DWI conviction or refusal to take a breathalyzer test pending appeal. The device must remain installed in the vehicle until the appeal process concludes. This applies to individuals convicted of DWI under New Jersey law (R.S.39:4-50) or refusal to take a breathalyzer test (section 2 of P.L.1981, c.512). The bill does not change the underlying penalties for DWI convictions but adds this condition for those seeking to delay their sentence while appealing.
