Understanding BAIID Requirements for DUI Offenders in Illinois

In Illinois, first-time DUI offenders must install a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) in their vehicle to obtain driving relief. At the same time, their license is temporarily suspended pending their criminal court case.

What is a BAIID?

A BAIID is an advanced technology device that measures a driver’s blood alcohol content (BAC) before allowing the vehicle to start. If the BAC is .025 or higher, the BAIID prevents the car from starting. Additionally, the device may require random breath tests during trips to ensure continuous sobriety.

Steps to Install a BAIID

Before installing a BAIID, an individual must obtain a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP). The Secretary of State’s office then installs the device and monitors the driver’s activity. Attempts to drive drunk or tamper with the BAIID will alert the Secretary of State’s office.

Declining BAIID Installation

A DUI offender may choose not to install a BAIID and serve the suspension period. However, driving with a suspended license results in a Class 4 felony. Additionally, participants in the BAIID program who were caught driving without the device also face a Class 4 felony.

Additional BAIID Requirements

BAIID installation is also required for individuals with multiple DUI convictions or statutory summary suspensions. They can obtain a restricted driving permit, which allows limited driving privileges.

BAIID Costs

• Installation Fee: $85
• Monthly Rental Fee: $80
• Monthly Monitoring Fee: $30
