Description
This appeal presents the narrow issue of whether appellant, the Department of Transportation (PennDOT), had independent authority under the Ignition Interlock Law, 42 Pa.C.S. § 7003 (since repealed), to enforce the ignition interlock requirement on drivers convicted of a second or subsequent offense of driving under the influence (DUI) in instances where the trial court failed to impose the interlock requirement in its sentencing order. The Commonwealth Court panel below followed a series of decisions from that court, heretofore not reviewed by this Court, which determined that PennDOT lacked independent authority to enforce the interlock requirement under the Interlock Law in effect at the time of appellees DUI conviction. For the reasons that follow, we disagree, and therefore we reverse.
