Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require a court when placing a person on community supervision for certain intoxication offenses to require the person to have an ignition interlock device placed on their vehicle or the vehicle they most often drive. Under current statute, this condition of community supervision is up to the court's discretion. The bill would remove from statute other procedures related to requiring a person placed on community supervision to have an ignition interlock device. The bill would shorten the time frame in which an order granting an occupational driver's license to a person whose driver's license has been suspended for certain intoxication offenses may take effect.

Methodology
According to the Department of Public Safety (DPS), the provisions of the bill would result in an estimated increase of 47,062 licenses issued with the interlock restriction indicated on the license. The $10 fee for a duplicate license would be charged, which would result in a revenue gain of $470,620 to the Mobility Fund. Based on analysis by DPS, it is assumed costs associated with decreasing the time frame for granting an occupational driver's license could be absorbed within existing resources.
Local Government Impact
The number of persons who would have to obtain an interlock device at their own expense andprovide evidence to the court of the installation would vary by court. A court would experience anincrease in administrative costs that could be absorbed within existing resources. No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
