Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device and Monitoring Device Driving Permit
Senate Bill 300 was signed into law as P.A. 95-0400 on August 24, 2007 and became effective January 1, 2009. It requires
all first-time DUI offenders who wish to drive during their Statutory Summary Suspension to install a BAIID on the vehicle
they wish to drive during that time. BAIID stands for Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device. Senate Bill 300 increases the
statutory summary suspension times as follows: For offenders who refuse testing at the time they are pulled over, their
suspension times will go from the current 6 months to 12 months. For those that take the test and fail, their suspension will
double from the current 3 months to 6 months.
A person must provide a breath sample into the BAIID prior to starting the vehicle and at random intervals throughout the
travel time. The BAIID uses advanced technology to read the person’s Blood Alcohol Level (BAC). A BAIID is hooked to the
ignition of the car and prevents the person from starting the car if their breath sample registers a .05 or higher. If the breath
sample is negative for alcohol, the person will be able to start their car without incident.
Eligible first-time DUI offenders who are arrested on or after January 1, 2009, will have the option of obtaining a MDDP by
request to the Illinois Secretary of State. The Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) replaces the Judicial Driving Permit
(JDP). The offender has the option of not participating in the program, but will have no other option for driving relief during
the Statutory Summary Suspension. The MDDP allows the offender to drive after serving 30 days of the statutory summary
suspension (which will either be 6 months or 12 months, depending on failure or refusal of Field Sobriety Test. The MDDP
requires that the offender install a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device in any vehicle the offender plans on driving during
the term of the statutory summary suspension. The MDDP allows the offender to drive anywhere at anytime so long as the
vehicle being driven has a BAIID installed (as opposed to the JDP which restricted the offender to certain hours and certain
destinations). A MDDP holder found driving a car without a BAIID during the statutory summary suspension will be guilty of
a Class 4 felony. An offender who chooses not to obtain an MDDP and is then caught driving during the statutory summary
suspension will be guilty of a Class 4 felony. A MDDP will not allow a Commercial Drivers License holder to operate a CMV
during the offender’s statutory summary suspension. MDDP holders may be eligible for a work exemption if driving
employer owned cars during the course of work hours and if the car is not specifically assigned to the offender.
How much does a BAIID cost? The Offender will have to pay the following fees for the BAIID:
1) Installation fee is approx. $100 (paid to the vendor they choose)
2) Monthly rental of the device $80 approx. (paid to the vendor they choose)
3) Monthly monitoring fee $30 (paid to the Sec. Of State for the monthly monitoring of the device)
