New CT DUI Laws Shorten License Suspensions and Mandate Interlocks
A new law in Connecticut makes it mandatory for first-time convicted DUI offenders to have an ignition interlock device installed in their vehicle. Previous laws required a one-year license suspension for convicted offenders but the new law reduces that to 45 days, plus a year with an ignition interlock. Offenders with two DUI convictions will also serve the 45-day suspension in addition to having an interlock device on their vehicle for three years. Connecticut is one of over a dozen states with first-offender interlock laws in place in the hope that they will help reduce alcohol-related fatalities.
