Chapter 9-4 Ignition Interlock Devices (IID) Program Requirements for Operators An IID is a handheld breath-alcohol monitoring device (approximately the size of a cell phone) that is electronically connected to a vehicle's ignition. Before starting your vehicle, the IID requires you to take and pass a breath alcohol test. The IID also requires you to take breath-alcohol re-test while you are operating the vehicle. The IID program requires multiple offenders to have accumulated two or more convictions for OUI (Alcohol or Controlled Substances) to have the IID installed in their vehicle. Further, the RMV will honor court orders requesting that the operator install the IID for the full length of that court order for an IID. The minimum period for an IID restriction is two years. If the IID is issued on a conditional hardship license, the IID is required for the length of that OUI license suspension or revocation period plus two years after reinstatement of full operating privileges. The IID license restriction is not automatically removed at the conclusion of the IID license restriction period. All operators must apply to the RMV's Ignition Interlock Department to have the IID removed from their vehicle and the license restriction lifted. Please refer to the IID Device Removal Section for more information. 06/16 9:61
