DUI and Mandatory Ignition Interlock Devices
Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) are required to be installed on vehicles owned and operated by motorists convicted of misdemeanor driving on a suspended license due to a previous driving under the influence related misdemeanor or felony conviction. The DMV must notify the court if the motorist fails to submit proof of installation of an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) within 30 days from the date of notice. A person who is required and fails to install an IID is guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than six months or by fine of not more than five thousand dollars ($5,000), or both. Motorists who fall into the category of driving with a suspended license for a DUI-related conviction will also be assessed a $40 administrative fee for verification of the IID installation.
