47- SECTION 1. The legislature finds that for many years, Hawaii has been one of the worst states in the nation in terms of the per cent of total fatal traffic crashes that are alcohol related. The use of ignition interlock devices has been a proven means to stop intoxicated persons from driving. The current law mandates that only a single vendor be selected by the department of transportation to implement the statewide ignition interlock program which deprives users of selecting ignition interlock devices based on product quality, features, and maintenance. Multiple vendors also ensure that ignition interlock devices are more readily available for installation and repair in a wide range of geographic areas throughout the state. The purpose of this Act is to create a task force to conduct a statewide study on the accessibility of ignition interlock devices and any national best practices. SECTION 2. (a) There is established a task force to be placed within the department of transportation for administrative purposes to conduct a statewide study on the accessibility of ignition interlock devices and any national best practices, including reasonable access, geography, and feasibility of allowing multiple vendors. (b) The task force shall consist of the following members or their designees: (1) The attorney general, who shall serve as chairperson; (2) The director of transportation; and (3) The director of health. (c) The chair of the task force shall invite the following persons to join the task force: (1) One representative from each county; and (2) Two representatives from the ignition interlock system industry. (d) The members of the task force shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for expenses, including travel expenses, necessary for the performance of their duties. (e) The task force shall submit a report of its findings and recommendations, including any proposed legislation, to the legislature no later than twenty days prior to the convening of the regular session of 2025. SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
