SCOPE

The bill title and text were updated to explicitly include amendments to the Penal Law, broadening its legislative reach.

REQUIREMENT

A new minimum requirement was added mandating that ignition interlock devices remain installed for at least six months after a license revocation period ends.

The requirement for the interlock device was clarified to specify that it must be a 'functioning' device, ensuring the hardware is operational.

ENFORCEMENT

A new enforcement mechanism was added stating that if a person fails to submit proof of compliance before their probation expires, the court must impose an additional probation period of at least six months.

TECHNICAL

Several lines were edited to remove redundant phrases like 'install [and]' and streamline the text for clarity while maintaining the legal intent.
