I have 2 Duis, My last conviction was in late march. I have been with out a license since. I read Ca governer signed a new law in oct 2009 to allow repeat dui offenders to obtain a restricted license with an ignition interlock device installed after 90 days of the suspension served effective july 1 2010. Now my question is, is will i be able to take advantage of this law even tho my DUI conviction was prior to the effective date of this new law. Thanks for any Info.

I have read no where in this law where people that were convicted before the laws effective date could not take advantage of it. i have actually had my lawyer send me the real printing of the law, i didnt completely understand it and he is not avaible till monday, so tryin gto get info now. thanks
No. It is effective July 1, 2010, not late March. If you want to possibly be able to get your restricted license under the new law you would have to wait until July 1 and file an appeal to see if they will retroactively apply the law. This will cost money and is not guaranteed.
