Amends TCA Section 55-10-411.

This bill makes changes to the law on ignition interlock devices as described below.<br /> <br /> If the driver's license is no longer suspended or revoked, or the driver does not have certain prior convictions, then present law generally authorizes a court to order the installation and use of a functioning ignition interlock device for a conviction of certain driving under the influence offenses.<br /> <br /> Present law defines "functioning ignition interlock device" as a device that:<br /> <br /> (1) Connects a motor vehicle ignition system to a breath-alcohol analyzer and prevents a motor vehicle ignition from starting if a driver's blood alcohol level exceeds the calibrated setting on the device; and <br /> <br /> (2) On an installation after July 1, 2013, employs technology capable of taking a photo identifying the person providing the breath sample, recording the date, time, and test result, along with the photo of the person providing the test, and storing such information on the device for transfer to remote storage and reporting.<br /> <br /> This bill adds to the requirements of a functioning ignition interlock that, on a new installation occurring on or after January 1, 2024, it employs global positioning system (GPS) technology that will geotag the motor vehicle's location whenever an initial startup test, a random retest, or a skipped test occurs, or when circumvention of the device is detected. The GPS technology shall not be used for continuous tracking of the vehicle.<br />
