Plain-English Summary

This bill would require new vehicles to be equipped with technology that detects whether a driver is impaired by alcohol and prevents the car from starting if impairment is detected. The measure aims to reduce drunk driving accidents and fatalities by making it harder for intoxicated people to operate vehicles. It would affect automakers, who would need to install this safety technology in their vehicles, and potentially drivers who would need to comply with the new systems.
