Those allow the offender to drive to and from specified locations at limited times—such as work and school—even though their regular drivers license has been suspended.&nbsp;</p><p>The bill would give judges&nbsp; the option of instead installing an Ignition Interlock Device in the offenders vehicle. Before starting the vehicle, the driver would have to breathe into the device. If the device detects that the driver has a heightened blood alcohol level, the engine won't ignite.</p><p>The bill would also require random breath samples from the driver after the engine has been started.
