According to the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles, the state requires a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Devices (BAIID) for all individuals charged with a DUI. You are responsible for covering all associated costs, including installation, monthly lease payments, and service fees.

For first-time DUI offenders and repeat DUI offenders in Illinois, your license may be suspended immediately if:

  • Your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level was .08 or higher
  • You refused a breath test

You can explore options for modified driving privileges on the Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles website.

What are Modified Driving Privileges in Illinois?

As a first-time DUI offender in Illinois, you will have automatically been enrolled in the Secretary of State’s Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) program. This, under certain circumstances, will allow you to drive during your statutory summary suspension. An MDDP allows you to drive 24 hours per day, seven days a week, as long as you have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) installed in the vehicle you are driving.

While a preliminary check of your driving record indicates that you are eligible for an MDDP, a more detailed inquiry will be made when the Illinois Office of the Secretary of State receives your application. If you hold a commercial driver’s license (CDL), you may be eligible for an MDDP to drive a non-commercial motor vehicle, but you may not operate a commercial motor vehicle with an MDDP.

Financial Assistance

The Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles may offer financial assistance to those unable to cover the full costs of their Interlock Device. If you qualify for assistance and funds are available, the department may contribute a portion of your Interlock device expenses. You may be eligible for a partial waiver of fees for the MDDP program based on your income level. A partial waiver of fees will be granted if you submit proof that your income level is 150 percent of poverty level.
