Short title -- 1998 c 210: "This act may be known and cited as the Mary Johnsen Act." [1998 c 210 § 1.]
Finding -- Intent -- 1998 c 210: "The legislature finds that driving is a privilege and that the state may restrict that privilege in the interests of public safety. One such reasonable restriction is requiring certain individuals, if they choose to drive, to drive only vehicles equipped with ignition interlock devices. The legislature further finds that the costs of these devices are minimal and are affordable. It is the intent of the legislature that these devices be paid for by the drivers using them and that neither the state nor entities of local government provide any public funding for this purpose." [1998 c 210 § 7.]
Effective date -- 1998 c 210: "This act takes effect January 1, 1999." [1998 c 210 § 9.]
