Law‑enforcement and safety groups back AB 1830, cite IID effectiveness and state subsidy
Summary
Police‑and‑safety organizations including the California Police Chiefs Association, California Association of Highway Patrolmen and local supervisors voiced support for AB 1830 and pointed to data and subsidy provisions they say make the program workable statewide.
Representatives from multiple law‑enforcement and safety organizations voiced support for AB 1830 at the committee hearing, saying ignition interlock devices reduce repeat DUI offenses and keep dangerous drivers off roads. "The good news is that we know that ignition interlock devices work," the author said, citing national comparisons and agency findings.
Organizations representing county governments, police chiefs, highway patrol and road‑safety coalitions said they backed the bill and noted California’s expanded subsidy program will reduce cost barriers. Supporters included Nicole Wortleman (Orange County Board of Supervisors), Max Perry (California Police Chiefs Association) and Cody Boyle (California Association of Highway Patrolmen).
