An Experimental, But (Hopefully In Future) Permanent Law To Go Into Effect July 1

A law that is more experimental than permanent is to go into effect tomorrow, July 1, 2010, making ignition interlock devices on cars belonging to first time and repeat DUI offenders mandatory in several California counties. Unfortunately San Diego County is not on the list of counties where this law is applicable. At least not yet.

The experiment will run five years, at which time the legislature will review the findings regarding the effectiveness of the new law. Hopefully, the law will clamp down on DUI's enough so that lawmakers will indeed expand the law throughout the rest of California.
