What is AIIPA
 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

Key Issues
 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

BAIID Programs – What We Know
 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.

Administrative Model
 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
www.aiipa.org
Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators
Judicial
 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

Hybrid Model
 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

Vendor Oversight
 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
www.aiipa.org
Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators
Device Functionality
 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.

Data/Monitoring Management
 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
www.aiipa.org

Affordability
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

Practical Questions for Research
 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?
www.aiipa.org
Association of Ignition Interlock Program Administrators
Other Questions
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
