What this bill would do

The "End DWI Act of 2025" seeks to establish a national standard to prevent driving while intoxicated. It requires states to enact and enforce laws mandating that DWI offenders operate only motor vehicles equipped with ignition interlock devices for at least 180 days, unless a special exception applies. To ensure compliance, the Secretary will withhold a percentage of certain funds from states that do not meet these requirements. For fiscal year 2027, the withholding rate is 3 percent, increasing to 5 percent in subsequent years. The bill aims to reduce recidivism and address the rise in alcohol-impaired and polysubstance driving fatalities.

Yes

  • Does this repair or build roads and bridges?+5

    The bill promotes road safety through mandated ignition interlock use.

  • Would children be better off under this?+5

    Increased road safety from reduced DWI incidents benefits all pedestrians, including children.

  • Does this give the federal government more power?+5

    The bill increases federal oversight by withholding highway funds from states that do not comply with the national standard.

The opposite

  • Does this leave more decisions to the states?-5

    The bill reduces state autonomy by mandating a specific national standard and penalizing non-compliance through fund withholding.

  • Would households on low incomes be better off under this?-2

    The cost of ignition interlock devices may disproportionately impact low-income individuals facing driving restrictions.
