Signs Bill to Increase Penalties on Drunk Drivers"... The actual article says "Both laws involve the installation of ignition interlock devices" I don't see anything about penalties. In fact, one of the bills, SB 598 is hardly a crackdown. It gives repeat offenders the chance for a restricted license if they agree to install interlock devices on their vehicles. No matter what the restriction, a restricted license is hardly a 'crackdown' vs. no license. Um, “Gov.
