Chapter 8-4 Melanie’s Law and Ignition Interlock Policy for Out-of-State Residents Melanie’s Law does apply to out of state licensed drivers who are convicted of two or more OUIs in Massachusetts. If an IID is required, an out of state resident cannot drive in Massachusetts without one. To find out if you are eligible to reinstate your right to operate in Massachusetts, you will need to contact a Hearings Officer. Operators Responsibilities Upon notification that they need an IID, they are responsible for all of the following: • Installation—You must contact a vendor and schedule an installation • Payment—You must pay the vendor all of the required leasing and maintenance fees • Maintenance visits—You must return to the vendor within 30 days for your scheduled maintenance and data upload. • Proper usage—You must follow all of the rules and guidelines you are given for using the IID and they must never tamper with or try to circumvent the use of the IID. Minimum Vehicle Requirements for IID Use In order for an IID to be installed, the vehicle must have a 12-volt electrical system and it must be in good running order. Check with an IID vendor for more details. The IID will not be installed on motorcycles. Motorized bicycles, or motorized scooters, no consumer with a “Z” restriction can operate or apply for driving privileges for one of these vehicles. 11/08 8:57
