Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  What is AIIPA  Overview of BAIID Models  What We Need To Know Discussion Topics

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Formed in 2011  Non-profit professional association  Composed primarily of state/jurisdictional interlock program managers  Approximately 21 member jurisdictions in U.S. and Canada  Purpose:  To develop and improve interlock program administration  To identify and research issues associated with interlock programs;  To develop and promote training programs;  To assist persons/organizations addressing interlock program issues;  To organize conferences, reports and other projects What is AIIPA

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  All 50 states have some form of interlock legislation

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Common Interlock Facts  Proven to be reliable and effective  Multiple research studies demonstrating reduced recidivism (while device is installed)  Commonly cited as a factor contributing to decreased impaired driving fatalities and crashes.  Common Issues Facing Interlock Programs:  Program Structure  Vendor Oversight  Device Functionality  Data Management  Affordability Key Issues

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Three basic types of interlock program models  Administrative (license-based)  Judicial (court-based)  Hybrid  Statute/Law vs. Rule/Regulation  Degree of focus and detail varies by jurisdiction  Flexibility vs. Rigidity  Decision based on needs/wants of jurisdiction  Programs can vary widely across jurisdictions. BAIID Programs – What We Know

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Examples - Florida, Illinois, Oklahoma  Advantages:  Installation rates – more likely to require BAIID  Consistency of use – uniform approach to program implementation  Management – more cost-effective and streamlined  Disadvantages:  Authority – limited ability to “force” participation  Infrastructure – resource limitations; staffing challenges Administrative Model

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Examples – New York  Advantages:  Penalties – impose stricter penalties on violators  Resources – increased ability to conduct monitoring and follow-up (theoretically)  Additional Conditions – Ability to impose other requirements (i.e. treatment)  Disadvantages  Judicial Acceptance – low use of BAIID among judges  Case Loads – Large case numbers impact monitoring Judicial

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Examples – New Mexico, Maryland  Advantages:  Diversity – Combines components of judicial and administrative  Safety Net – Administrative management decreases cases “slipping through cracks”  Cooperation – partnership between judicial, probation and licensing  Disadvantages:  Communication – requires consistent and efficient communication between agencies Hybrid Model

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Effective provider network critical for sound program  Documentation of responsibilities important  How are vendors selected  RFP, sole source, open contract  Where are vendor requirements defined  Law, rule, contractual agreement  Device calibration and performance standards  How are they enforced  Vendor oversight model  How are new devices/vendors selected  Development of manufacturer oversight plan Vendor Oversight

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  BAIID Model Specifications provided by NHTSA  Provides minimum performance standards for BAIID’s  Conforming Products List (CPL); Important tool for states  Jurisdiction maintains ultimate control over device standards  Emerging technology  Camera: Digital pictures and video  GPS  Calibration – critical for state to define and enforce calibration requirements  Anti-circumvention  Breath patterns, learned breath codes, Breath temperature, Blow and hum, sample volume, camera, anti-tamper seals, etc. Device Functionality

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Two standard approaches  Program/Agency controlled  Manufacturer/vendor coordinated  Program controlled  Requires defined data management strategy  Automated vs. Manual processing  Staffing and resource  Vendor Coordinated  Vendor fulfills monitoring responsibilities  Assurance of accurate reporting  Advantages to both approaches Data/Monitoring Management

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  BAIID Costs  Installation - $70 to 150 (average range)  Monitoring - $60 to 80 (average range)  Some states cap costs and fees  Additional program/licensing fees  Vary widely from state-to-state  Based on cost recovery requirements  Active discussion regarding unaffordability  Definition?  Effectiveness Affordability

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Arising out of best practice and technical working groups  Ideal failure set point (.020,.025,.050)  What does a violation mean?  How should state’s respond to violations?  Are certain violations more “important”?  Test failure/refusal forgiveness?  Standardized retest interval?  Monitoring of participants, benefit or not? Practical Questions for Research

Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators  Program rules  Violations  Consequences  Participant feedback  “Active” monitoring  Installation and removal requirements  Compliance based removal  Program design and installation rates  How to increase installation rates  What role does program “design” play  Administrative revocation/suspension  License reciprocity – addressing offenders in a mobile society Other Questions
