Impaired Driving Accountability Program (BOT IDAP)
Overview of the Program
BOT IDAP is a new vision of the initial IDAP effort created by the state in 2019 that applies to persons arrested on or after November 1, 2022, and has been modified to provide participants an opportunity to demonstrate an ability and willingness to make safer choices when it comes to impaired driving by utilizing an ignition interlock device. IDAP completion is now required for all DUI related suspensions for arrests occurring on or after November 1, 2022 before revoked driving privileges can be fully reinstated. The program enrollment fee is $150.00 and an ignition interlock device is mandatory. BOT IDAP is available for Class D driving privileges only. Applicants must possess a license to operate a motor vehicle in the United States to be granted driving privileges.
NOTICE: Enrollment in BOT IDAP will grant* a participant driving privileges with an interlock restriction.
*A participant granted a medical exemption will not qualify for driving privileges.
Program lengths are listed below and are not eligible to be served concurrently, which equates to one IDAP program length per offense:
(1) no less than one hundred eighty (180) active ignition interlock days and program participation criteria as determined by the Board for first offense;
(2) no less than three hundred sixty-five (365) active ignition interlock days and program participation criteria as determined by the Board for second offense;
(3) no less than seven hundred thirty (730) active ignition interlock days and program participation criteria as determined by the Board for third and subsequent offense.
Participants will be required to demonstrate compliance and program participation as defined by the Board for the entire program period.
- Participants who choose to park and drive an alternative vehicle without an ignition interlock equipped after enrolling in BOT IDAP will not be successful at completing the program.
- Participants who choose to leave an ignition interlock device in permanent lockout will not be successful at completing the program.
- Participants who fail to provide power to the ignition interlock will not be successful at completing the program.
