In Missouri, 11,100 potential drunk drivers were stopped by ignition interlock devices in their cars in 2020.
Current Missouri law requires a person found guilty of driving while drunk with prior alcohol-related offenses to have an ignition interlock device installed in their car. House Bill 1680, introduced by Rep. Mark Sharp (D-Kansas City), removes the requirement of a prior conviction for an ignition interlock device to be added.
