Alabama HB1 mandates ignition interlock devices for first-time DUI offenders.

Alabama HB1 requires individuals convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) for the first time to install an approved ignition interlock device on their designated vehicle. This device must be operational for the offender to drive. The license suspension period can be stayed if the device is installed. The offender must also attend a DUI or substance abuse court referral program. Fines collected are distributed to various funds, including the Alabama Chemical Testing Training and Equipment Trust Fund and the Alabama Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund.
