Seattle DUI lawyer Kotlowski wrote an article today regarding the new IID laws. Sounds like there is a pile-up at the DOL. 

The New Ignition Interlock Device (IID) Law

January 9th, 2009   Filed Under Uncategorized  

From DOL:

To be eligible for this license:

• your drive record must show that:

• you have been arrested for, or convicted of, an alcohol-related DUI or physical control.

• your driver license was valid on the date of conviction or before the date of any suspension/revocation.

• you have not been convicted of vehicular assault or vehicular homicide within seven years before the incident for which

you are requesting this license.

• your suspension/revocation is not for, or does not include, minor in possession, reckless driving reduced from an alcoholrelated

DUI, vehicular assault or homicide, or habitual traffic offender.

• you must submit proof of financial responsibility to us. The most common is a Certificate of Insurance (SR-22). Contact an

insurance agent for assistance.

• you must have proof of ignition interlock device installation for every vehicle you drive. The installer will send us the proof.

If you drive an employer owned vehicle during working hours, the vehicle may be exempt from this requirement if we have a

signed Employer Declaration on file. This form is available at www.dol.wa.gov. You can obtain the form for the IID here
